Completing a FAFSA

If entering a program eligible for Federal Financial Aid, you must complete a FAFSA and complete the Financial Aid awarding process to determine grant eligibility.

• This should occur before program enrollment and annually thereafter.
  
• If eligible for any federal or state grants, you must accept grant aid, and grants will be applied to tuition and mandatory fees before payment of benefits.
  

Federal financial aid deadlines vary each year — you can refer to the Federal Student Aid website for specific deadlines.

State financial aid deadlines are based on the academic partner — you can reach out to your school's financial aid office with any questions.

You can also contact your academic provider to learn how the funding for your program will work, including what'll be covered by financial aid, your employer, or what you'll need to pay out of pocket (if applicable). They can also share additional costs to prepare for, such as books, supplies, fees, and other charges in addition to tuition.
