- Accepted into a program that will lead to a degree
- U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens

Understanding the 2024-25 FAFSA Filing Updates
No FSA ID?
For parents or students without an FSA ID, you will be prompted to apply for one when you . The FSA ID will help you (student or parent) electronically sign the FAFSA.
Please Note: Â鶹Դ´ reserves the right to require verification of income data submitted by any and all applicants for financial assistance. Awards for those who are asked for such verification will be made conditional upon receipt of the requested information/documentation. Forms of documentation or verification that may be requested include, but are not limited to, transcripts of federal income tax returns and copies of authorization letters for untaxed income. Any discrepancy in reported figures may result in adjustment or cancellation of the financial aid award and may be reported to the federal government for further review and possible legal action.
All awards made by or through the College are conditional and are based upon information available to College officials at the time the award is made. All awards are, therefore, subject to change and/or cancellation, should the College become aware of facts, conditions, and/or circumstances that differ from those upon which the award(s) was (were) based. Similarly, all awards are contingent upon the receipt by the College of sufficient funding from state, federal, or other funding sources and/or donors to cover award offers.
The priority filing deadline for the 2024-25 FAFSA is April 15, 2024, with rolling consideration thereafter.
Financial aid awards are not automatically renewable unless specified otherwise in your award letter. Almost all student aid at the College must be reapplied for each year by completing a new FAFSA by the posted priority filing deadline.​​​​​​
