Summer 2013 Financial Aid
The Summer 2013 Financial Aid Application is now available. The deadline to submit the application is July 19, 2013. Please keep in mind, however, that the Office of Financial Aid will process summer Financial Aid Applications on a first-come-first-serve basis. Submit your request early; due to a high volume of applications processing may take two to three weeks. If you haven’t already completed the 2012-2013 FAFSA to apply for Spring 2013 and/or Summer 2013, apply online now at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. Our Federal School Code is 009145.

As long as all eligibility requirements have been met including Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress, your financial aid will disburse or credit to your account as quickly as possible, but no earlier than 10 days prior to the first day of classes.
