Applying for Financial Aid

We know that the college admission and financial aid application processes can be daunting, but we are committed to make this process as easy (and painless) as possible. Simply follow the 4 steps below and know that we are here to help you along the way!

For international students, the financial aid process is a little different. Learn More »

Step 1: Check the box!

When you apply for admission to 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########, check the box that says that you intend to apply for financial aid.

Step 2: Complete the FAFSA

Due to the federal government’s delay in updating the FAFSA and federal financial aid methodology, the FAFSA will not be available until December 2023. While we do not have a specific date for the FAFSA availability, we will notify applicants when it is available. In the meantime, applicants will need to complete the CSS Profile by their admission application deadline.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) does not require an application fee and is made available on October 1 for the upcoming academic year.
Use the code 003042 to designate 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### University.
Prior to completing the FAFSA form, prospective students and all of their parents/guardians and/or contributors must obtain a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID). This can be done at the FSA ID site. Please retain this information as you will need it each year you attend 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########.
After you file your FAFSA, you will receive the FAFSA Submission Summary from the Department of Education that provides you with the submitted FAFSA information. Please review to ensure this information is correct.
The FAFSA needs to be completed each year a student is enrolled at 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########.

Applicants who are considered independent for federal aid, based on federally defined criteria, do not have to submit parental information or have a parental signature on the FAFSA.

Step 3: Complete the CSS Profile

The 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile charges a $25 fee for the first school and $16 for each additional school. For families with an AGI of less than $100,000 dollars, there is no cost.
Use the code 1164 to designate 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### University.
If your parents are divorced/separated/never married, etc., each of your parents will complete their own CSS Profile. You and your primary parent (the parent who provided you with the most financial support) will complete your CSS Profile using your 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 Board account/log-in credentials. In addition, your other parent will need to create a 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 Board account if they don’t currently have one (this parent should not use the student’s 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 Board account).
The CSS Profile only needs to be completed once: at the time the student is applying to 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########.

Step 4: Submit Earnings Statements & Asset and Family Verification

Primary parents are required to upload financial documents to 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### through IDOC — a 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 Board service that securely collects family financial documents and distributes them to institutions on behalf of the student. There is no cost for IDOC service.
For most families, commonly required items include W-2 forms, 1099 forms, forms 1040 and/or 1041, and schedules A, C, E, and/or F. All documents should be sent individually through IDOC to prevent delays in processing or document rejection. For security purposes, earnings statements will only be accepted through IDOC. Please do not mail, email, or fax these documents to 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########.
All students applying for financial aid must submit the Asset and Family Verification Worksheet through IDOC.

Financial Aid Deadlines

Prospective Students

The deadlines for financial aid are the same as admission application deadlines. A student applying for financial aid must complete their FAFSA and CSS Profile by the following dates:

- Early Decision 1: November 15???
- Early Decision 2: January 15???
- Regular Decision: January 15

Due to the federal government’s delay in updating the FAFSA and federal financial aid methodology, the FAFSA will not be available until December 2023. While we do not have a specific date for the FAFSA availability, we will notify applicants when it is available. In the meantime, applicants will need to complete the CSS Profile by their admission application deadline.

Returning Students

The FAFSA form must be resubmitted each year that you are enrolled at 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########. Returning students must complete a renewal FAFSA online by April 1 of each academic year for aid in the following academic year. Failure to submit a renewal FAFSA by April 1 will jeopardize financial aid eligibility at 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########.
