If you are planning to attend in the summer and are unsure whether you are currently set-up to receive loan funds in the summer please log-in to Genisys.

Complete Your 2007 - 2008 FAFSA Today

The 2007 - 2008 FAFSA is available online. You must complete a FAFSA for each Academic Year that you desire aid. For additional information regarding the FAFSA, please click the following links below.

If you require a paper copy of the form, you may pick one up from the Central Financial Aid office. Remember - the paper version of the form requires at least an additional 4 weeks processing time. Please contact the Financial Aid office if you have any questions regarding the FAFSA or other Financial Aid requirements.

Renewing Your FAFSA
The 2007 - 2008 Renewal FAFSA is available now for eligible students who applied and completed their FAFSA in the prior award year. Since most of the information provided in the prior year's FAFSA application is carried forward and preprinted on the student's Renewal FAFSA, the renewal process is much faster. However, please keep in mind that the Renewal FAFSA is only available online and for eligible applicants.
