To apply for federal student aid, U.S. citizens and permanent residents must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form for the aid year that they plan to matriculate. You can do this online at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa or via mobile app (available through Google Play or Apple App Store). The FAFSA is required to process federal loan requests.
For more information and detailed instructions on how to apply for federal or private student loans, see Loan Programs.
NOTE: If you are applying to the One-Year Johnson Cornell Tech MBA program, you will also need to complete the current year FAFSA to apply for summer loans.
