APPLYING FOR AID IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS

Application Requirements

The deadline for submitting all required documents for needbased awards and for scholarships is May 1, 2024 for the academic year 2024-25. Need-based awards require the CSS Profile, FAFSA and the 2022 tax returns. Most scholarships require only the FAFSA. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid if you are unsure about the requirements for your grant or scholarship. If a complete need-based application is submitted after May 1, it will still be reviewed and grant awarded based on the need determination. However, late applications are not eligible for any type of appeal. Students will be notified in December 2023 when the Financial Aid Portal is open for returning student documents, and at that time you will be able to view your complete renewal requirements in Items Requiring Your Attention .

Change In Circumstance

The Notification of Special Circumstance form can be submitted with any on-time application, or can be submitted as an appeal for any award where the application was submitted on-time. The on-time deadline for returning student application is May 1. If financial circumstances for your family change significantly during the academic year you should contact the Office of Financial Aid to determine if you are eligible to submit a mid-year Notification of Special Circumstance form. Mid-year appeals are considered in cases of involuntary job loss, illness/death, or other significant unplanned events leading to major financial disruptions.

Living Off Campus

You are required to live in on-campus housing your first three years, but as a senior you may elect to live off campus. The level of financial aid you receive will not change when living off-campus. The Cost of Attendance that your financial aid is based on will continue to use the cost of the standard on-campus housing and the full meal plan, which may be more or less than you spend for living off campus. To make funds available for off campus expenses, credit balance checks and direct deposit to your personal account is available. Students should set up direct deposit via Workday if interested and checks can be requested from the Business Office.
