Document Description & Checklist

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal Application (paper or web-based version): This form will be mailed to the U.S. Department of Education's Central Processor or submitted over the World Wide Web. Using the Federal Methodology (FM) formula, your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) will be determined. This is the amount you and/or your family should be able to contribute toward the cost of attending the institution of your choice. Follow all instructions carefully. Please note: Our Federal school code is E00398.

Students are advised to provide parental income information on the Renewal Application or FAFSA for full consideration of all programs. Although the instructions on these forms indicate that if you are a graduate/professional student you do not have to provide parental information, please disregard. Several federal programs as well as institutional programs require parental information regardless of dependency status.
