  • Once we have received the results of your FAFSA we will send you an Award Letter that will list all of the financial aid you can expect to receive. Look at it carefully and return it to the Financial Aid Office by the date listed on the Award Letter.
  • We must have your permission to discuss your financial aid with anyone else. If you would like us to be able to discuss your aid with others (parents, spouse etc.) you must complete an authorization form.
