Most schools offer institutional aid to their students. Usually,
institutional aid is awarded on a "First Come, First
Serve Basis." Contact the financial aid offices of all
the schools in which you plan to/currently attend, and request
a financial aid guide detailing their school’s institutional
aid and eligibility requirements. This information may be
posted on the school’s web site.
In addition to the FAFSA, your school may require you to complete
the
PROFILE
Form and/or additional forms to determine your eligibility
for their institutional aid. You should complete and submit
all required forms by the deadline date. If you do not submit
the required form(s) by the deadline, you risk not receiving
aid or receiving reduced aid from your school. Institutional
aid may vary from year to year.
