Freshman Applicants

We are dedicated to helping undergraduate students understand the financial aid process and how best to finance their education. Students should contact our office if they have any additional questions or concerns regarding financial aid.

Freshman applicants for the 2013-14 academic year must complete two applications in order to be considered for financial aid.   

Early Decision Applicants: deadline November 15

  1. CSS Profile Application : School code is 3726. 
  2. Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA): School code is 003409 (must complete after January 1)

Regular Decision applicants: deadline February 15

  1. Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA): School code is 003409. 
    Please note you cannot complete this application prior to January 1. If you have not filed your taxes, you should complete the FAFSA using estimated information and correct the data once you have filed (please note, however, that awards are estimates until completed information is received).  Students who did not apply for financial aid by the deadline but still wish to be considered for federal student loans may still complete the FAFSA application.

  2. CSS Profile Application: School code is 3726.
