File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov. The FAFSA is a government form used to determine if you qualify for federal aid like grants and loans. Even if you don’t think you’ll qualify for or need federal aid, you’ll want to complete the FAFSA so we can craft a personalized financial aid offer for you. Be sure to use our school code when you complete the FAFSA: 003985.
