Step One

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (click here)

Students requesting federal financial aid will need to complete their FAFSA online. Financial Aid administrators are available during normal business hours to answer questions or provide assistance. If you have already completed the application, you will need to add our school code (033674) in order for our school to receive your information. Schools generally receive your updated application within 3 business days.

In order to complete the application, you will need to gather last year’s tax documents. Students and parents who do not currently have an active PIN (Personal Identification Number) are able to apply for and sign their application simultaneously. If you have a PIN but cannot remember it, you may go to the PIN site and request a duplicate PIN. Click here to go to the PIN site (click here).

Please note: It generally takes up to 3 business days for your PIN to become permanent.

Step Two

If you are considering federal student loans to help pay for educational costs, you will need to complete Loan Entrance Counseling.

You may complete Loan Entrance Counseling for Stafford Loans at the Direct Loan Servicing website (click here). Be sure to print a copy for your records when you have completed the session; it is not necessary to send a printed copy to the school.

Step Three

If interested in federal student loans, you will also need to complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN). Click here to go to the Direct Loan Master Promissory Note website.

In order to receive federal student loans, you must complete a MPN. This is a contract you sign whereby you are promising to repay your student loan debt. In addition, you will be provided with your rights and responsibilities regarding student loans. Please be prepared to provide two references with different addresses from each other. Additionally, you must have an active PIN to sign the document.

Be sure to print a copy for your records. It is not necessary to send a printed copy to the school.

Step Four

Complete required financial aid forms (click here)

At a minimum, students must complete and return the forms listed below. Your financial aid administrator may request additional forms from you at a later date in order to award aid to you. Forms may be scanned and emailed, faxed, hand-delivered, or mailed to the school.
