Scholarships and Financial Aid:

The FAFSA is the federal government’s application to determine financial aid eligibility for most types of financial aid. First apply for a FSA ID. You will need a FSA ID to electronically sign your FAFSA. If you are a dependent student, your parents should also apply for a FSA ID so they can electronically sign your FAFSA. You can complete the FAFSA (and the Renewal FAFSA) electronically by going to www.fafsa.ed.gov. Our Federal School Code (for the FAFSA) is 003932.
