- How do I apply for financial aid?
This can be done two ways. We prefer that you complete the paperwork in person with the financial aid administrator. She will assist you in completing the FAFSA form and explain which loans you qualify for and the respective payment schedule. She can immediately answer any questions you may have about the process.
If you prefer to do it on your own, click here and fill out the required information using your income tax information from the previous two years. You may enter our school code, 017279. When you finish that process, wait about a week, and then set up an appointment to see the financial aid administrator. She will explain which loans you qualify for and the respective payment schedule. She will also answer any questions you may have about your loan.
