Step 2: File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Our Federal FAFSA School Code is G02391.
Each year’s FAFSA application collects previous tax year information to determine the types of aid you are eligible to receive. The total amount of aid is determined by your tuition and our estimate of additional expenses.
File the FAFSA after January 1st for aid in the upcoming school year.
Use your Federal Student Aid Personal Identification Number (PIN) to electronically sign your FAFSA application for faster, more accurate processing.

Step 3: Review Your Student Aid Report (SAR) and complete additional forms, if applicable
The Department of Education responds to your FAFSA with a Student Aid Report (SAR). Review your SAR for any required additional information. Contact our office with any questions you may have about submitting additional information.
