Financial Aid

Starting college can be stressful enough. We don’t want you to have to worry about how you’re going to pay for it. Yes, the FAFSA can be intimidating. But we can help with that, too. Most of our students receive some sort of financial aid and our staff will walk you and your family through the process every step of the way!

The Financial Aid Office is receiving and processing paperwork for the 2020-2021 Academic Year (Spring, Summer, and Fall Semesters). With the college campus being restricted to authorized personal only and by appointment only for students/guests, we have provided a list of options below to submit your financial aid paperwork as the Financial Aid Office and all other campus departments continue to service our student population.

Documents completed in full, including student ID, may be submitted utilizing any of the following means:

  • Hand filling out application

    Complete Your FAFSA

    Don't forget to complete your FAFSA and Financial Aid file as soon as possible to determine your financial aid eligibility. Learn more about the FAFSA process.
