Students should file their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2009-2010 academic year as soon as possible. Paper applications are virtually non-existent and students should file online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Even if you miss the priority deadline, FAFSA applications are accepted on a continuous basis throughout the academic year.  However, it is to your benefit to submit the application by the April 1 priority deadline.  Many assistance programs have limited funding and awards are provided to those who complete applications first.  Awards are allocated until funds are depleted.  Please see the section on "Applying for Financial Aid" for more information on how to apply for assistance programs.
