Complete the FAFSA
What is the FAFSA?
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) determines your eligibility for financial aid. The FAFSA must be completed once each academic year in which you seek financial aid.
How can I apply?
Visit studentaid.gov and create a FSA ID (username and password) to securely log in to U.S. Department of Education websites. Then follow the steps on the website to complete your application electronically.
View the Financial Aid TV before completing your FAFSA application.
Tip: Your FSA ID is used to confirm your identity, access your financial aid information, and electronically sign documents.
Will I need to provide additional information?
After submitting the FAFSA, the student (and their parents or legal guardians, if dependent) may be required to provide additional documentation to verify their eligibility for financial aid, such as:
- Tax return transcripts (for student, parent, or spouse).
- Proof of citizenship or high school graduation.
- Any other documents needed to meet eligibility requirements.
Financial Aid Application Deadlines
Students who want assurance that their paperwork will be processed in a timely way during a given semester must have all applications and required documents on file in the Student Financial Aid Office by the following priority deadlines:
- March 1: To apply for financial aid and to be considered for Maryland State Scholarships (Maryland residents only);
- April 1: For financial aid needed by the beginning of the fall semester;
- November 1: For financial aid needed in time for the spring semester. Students whose complete paperwork fails to reach the Financial Aid Office by the priority deadlines should be prepared to pay tuition and fees themselves. Such payments may later be reimbursed once aid eligibility has been determined and aid has been authorized.
