Aid Application Instructions and Timetable
NEW STUDENT APPLICANTS: the deadline to apply for financial aid for 2009-10 is February 2, 2009
RETURNING STUDENTS: Estimated awards for 2009-2010 have been mailed with the application materials and are due back February 2.
In cases where parents are not living together, we require each separate parent household, as listed on Form A, to submit a PFS and current year tax return.
We may send periodic reminder letters that include what we need from all households; however, the primary responsibility lies with the student’s family to make sure the application is completed on time.
