Applying for Financial Aid

In order to receive financial aid, you must apply for it every year. Applying for aid is not a commitment to accept the offer. You may decline a fellowship or loan after either is offered. If you do not apply for aid for your first year you may still do so for your second or third years. To apply for financial aid, the following materials must be filed:

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

All students who are applying for federal funds and who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents must file a FAFSA every year to determine eligibility for federal student loans. You can complete the FAFSA online at the Department of Education’s website (https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa). Our Title IV school code is E00341.

CSS Profile Application

All students who are applying for a tuition fellowship must complete the 2026-2027 CSS Profile application.  As you are completing the application, please keep in mind that you must provide parental information if you are under the age of 29 as of September 1st, 2026.  This online application is available at the CSS website (https://cssprofile.collegeboard.org).  Our CSS Profile code is 7832.

Federal Tax Returns

All students receiving tuition fellowship must submit signed photocopies of their own 2024 federal income tax return. Students under the age of 29 as of 09/01/2026 who are receiving tuition fellowship are also required to submit their parents’ 2024 tax return. Please be advised that no tuition fellowship will be credited to a student’s account without copies of these tax returns in our office.

Financial Aid Supplement Form

Returning students must also complete this form.  This document is used to collect information on projected summer earnings, summer addresses, and on- or off-campus residency for the coming academic year.  The 2026-2027 form becomes available on the financial aid website after May 1st and must be completed prior to your departure for the summer.
