Financial Aid

FAFSA - Federal Student Aid

Get help paying for college. Submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Financial aid is available to those who qualify.

Our school code is 042418.

The Net Price Calculator is a tool that students can use to estimate their “net price” to attend a particular college or university. Net price is the difference between the “sticker” price (full cost) to attend a specific college, minus any grants and scholarships for which students may be eligible. Sticker price includes direct charges (tuition and fees, room and board) and indirect costs (books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses).

FAFSA4caster will help you understand your options for paying for college. Provide some basic information and we’ll estimate your eligibility for federal student aid. Your estimate will be shown in the “College Cost Worksheet” where you can also provide estimated amounts of other student aid and savings that can go towards your college education. Go ahead and get started now! If you need help please call the school financial aid office.

Use the Repayment Estimator

Use it any time to see the impact of future borrowing and personalized repayment plan choices.

This tool uses your loan information from National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) to estimate initial monthly payments, repayment plan eligibility, repayment plan cost comparison, and total interest paid.

The National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) is the U.S. Department of Education’s (ED’s) central database for student aid. NSLDS receives data from schools, guaranty agencies, the Direct Loan program, and other Department of ED programs. NSLDS Student Access provides a centralized, integrated view of Title IV loans and grants so that recipients of Title IV Aid can access and inquire about their Title IV loans and/or grant data.

Applications for federal aid programs are made by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (www.fafsa.gov) which collects your family’s income and asset information. If you have any difficulty in accessing or understanding the FAFSA, you may make an appointment at our school to have assistance in filling out the FAFSA.
