Optimize your financial aid
Nearly all of our Lions receive financial aid, so we encourage every student to submit their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (aka the FAFSA) as soon as possible during their admission process. Your FAFSA not only helps determine your eligibility for student loans and grants, but also scholarships and campus jobs. Students should submit their FAFSA on or after October 1 of their senior year of high school to receive the best possible financial aid package early in their college search and decision process.
