The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile will both be available on Tuesday, October 1, for the 2020–21 academic year. Not all students are required to submit the CSS Profile, but all students applying for financial aid are required to complete a FAFSA. Students are encouraged to submit the 2020–21 FAFSA at fafsa.ed.gov. The University’s federal school code is 002894. Instructions will be emailed to students later in the fall semester to confirm what additional financial aid materials they may need to submit, including the CSS Profile, as part of their application for next year’s aid. The application deadline for the 2020–21 academic year is March 16, 2020. Returning undergraduates who do not submit their application with all supporting documentation by the deadline are not guaranteed full consideration for need-based University grant assistance and may have their institutional aid reduced due to limited funding.
