Complete Your 2019-2020 FAFSA NOW!

The 2019-2020 FAFSA will become available to complete on October 1, 2018. For priority consideration of limited funding, students should submit their FAFSA and submit all unsatisfied requirements as soon as they are requested, but no later than April 15, 2019.

Students should complete the 2019-2020 FAFSA using tax data from 2017. The Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) will be available to transfer your 2017 tax data (both student and parent) from the 2017 IRS Tax Return to your 2019-2020 FAFSA. We encourage everyone to use the DRT.

Note: Because of increased data security, when you use the DRT to transfer your data from your tax return to your FAFSA, you will not be able to see the data that was transferred. The data will be “masked.”

 Students and their families may complete the 2019-2020 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

The Financial Aid Office plans to begin loading 2019-2020 FAFSA data into our system in late November or early December 2018.
