In most cases, you’ll begin with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).When you submit your FAFSA, you’re considered for a variety of state and federal financial aid programs. Some of our admission-based scholarships are based on need, and will consider your FAFSA. The FAFSA is available October 1, and the priority deadline is March 10.
