What is the application deadline for financial aid?
Students should apply as early as possible to allow sufficient time for processing (generally 4-5 weeks). Additional time may be required if corrections and/or verification are necessary. Applications which have been processed by May 31 will receive priority for state grants (these funds are limited). For some types of aid, such as Pell Grants and Stafford loans, students can apply anytime during the year. However, they should be prepared to pay for tuition and books, and receive reimbursement, if their application cannot be processed within seven days prior to the start of classes.
