Financial Aid Deadlines

To apply for financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the New York State Student Aid Payment Application (also known as the NY State Aid Application).  In order to process your financial aid eligibility in a timely manner we has imposed priority, target deadlines to complete your application(s).  We request that your applications and all outstanding requirements be completed by the deadlines so eligibility can be finalized and appear as "anticipated aid" on your student bill.  Students that have not finalized their aid eligibility prior to the billing due dates run the risk of being dropped from their courses.

The FAFSA and NY State Aid application become available October 1st of each year.  A new FAFSA and NYS State Aid application must be completed for each academic year in which you are attending.   Don't delay, apply today!

Failure to fully completed your application by the priority deadline may delay awarding of your aid eligibility.  If you are unable to complete your requirements, or file late, a payment arrangement must be in place by the payment deadline or you may be dropped from your upcoming registered courses.
