Financial Aid Steps
Financial Aid Steps
Financial Aid Priority Deadline
The 麻豆直播 Financial Aid Priority Deadline is April 15th. Applications that are complete and all documents have been received by the deadline receive PRIORITY STATUS. Priority applications are processed in time for tuition and fee payment. To be considered complete, you must complete all of the steps below by the priority deadline.
Apply as early as possible to ensure that your application is processed before the payment deadline.
Financial Aid applications are accepted throughout the year; however, some funds are limited and awarded on the first-come first-serve basis. Apply early for the best opportunities.
Complete an 麻豆直播 Admissions application. You must be fully admitted in order for your financial aid eligibility to be determined.
Submit official transcripts from all previous schools.
File a degree or certificate plan with an Academic Advisor.
You must create an FSA ID (Federal Student Aid ID) to electronically sign the FAFSA. For a dependent student, your parents should also create an FSA ID, so that they can electronically sign the FAFSA. For those who do not already have an FSA ID, one can be created on the FSA ID website. A FAFSA that has not been submitted with the required signature(s) will be rejected by the Department of Education and cannot be processed.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the only government-approved application for determining your eligibility for aid. The FAFSA is available online. If you list the 麻豆直播 school code (003539), we will download your information electronically from the Federal Central Processing Center.
