Students wishing top consideration for financial aid should have their files completed by the priority dates listed. The Financial Aid Office will continue to accept applications after these dates, but the awards will be dependent upon the availability of funds. The Federal Pell Grant and all other federal and state grants are awarded on need. Scholarships can also be awarded based on need, but require a separate application and are more often based on merit and academic performance. Financial aid will be awarded on a rolling basis until funds are used up.
