Reapplying for Financial Aid

Understanding Your Ongoing Aid

Each year, returning students must reapply for financial aid to ensure continued support. Factors like changes in income, household size, or academic standing can affect eligibility, so staying proactive is key.

Financial Aid makes every effort to keep aid for returning students consistent from year to year if a student’s need remains the same. However, many factors can influence a student’s financial aid eligibility, such as:

  • Differences in parents’ or student’s income compared to prior year
  • Change in number of family members
  • Change in reported asset holdings

To continue receiving aid, you must apply each year by the April 15 FAFSA deadline. Aid is based on need, academic progress, and availability of funds.

Most merit-based aid only requires students to maintain satisfactory academic progress. Some may require a specific GPA as listed in your original award letter.

Instructions for How to Renew Your FAFSA — follow this guide to complete your renewal correctly and on time.
