Application Tips

Make the Most of Your Application

  • Submit all paperwork as far ahead of deadline as possible.
  • Submit your FAFSA as close to January 1st as possible.
  • Pay attention to detail and fill out all paperwork thoroughly.
  • Write legibly (misunderstandings slow down paperwork).
  • Make copies of everything and keep it all organized.
  • When submitting your financial aid packet, make sure to include explanations of circumstances not evident in other paperwork. They'll take special circumstances into account when awarding funds.
