Application Process: All students who want to be considered for either loans or scholarship grants must complete the attached application and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  The FAFSA application generates data so that a student’s overall financial need can be determined.  Students may also need to provide a copy of their most recent federal tax returns when they turn in the attached financial aid application if selected for verification.

All U.S. Citizens and Eligible Non-Citizens:
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) requires your 2007 tax information.  If you have not completed your tax return, please use estimated numbers.  You may update your Student Aid Report once you have filed your taxes.  For quicker and accurate processing, we encourage all applicants to submit the FAFSA on the internet.  Visit our electronic Financial Aid Office (eFAO) at https://www.e-fao.com/ltss/financialaid and click on the ‘Getting Started’ tab or you may visit the government website directly at www.fafsa.ed.gov .
