When is the Financial Aid application priority date?
To receive full consideration for merit-based scholarships, your admission materials (application for admission, application fee, transcripts, etc.) must be on file with the Graduate Admissions Office prior to February 15 prior to the semester of enrollment. For federal aid and need-based scholarships, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be on file with the US Department of Education Federal Processor by February 15th also. The Office of Student Financial Aid Services has more information about specific programs and applying for financial aid. Priority dates and procedures for applying for assistantships are established by each academic department. Contact your academic department for more information.
