Aid Application Instructions and Timetable

NEW STUDENT APPLICANTS: the deadline to apply for financial aid for 2009-10 was February 2, 2009

RETURNING STUDENTS: the deadline to apply for financial aid for 2009-10 was February 16, 2009

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.
