How to Apply for Financial Aid - Continuing Students

Stafford loans are processed every two semesters. It's important for you to keep record of your financial aid award and be aware of when the next semester application is due. The FA Office will do our best to notify you when it is time to apply, but do not depend on us alone. Check with our office if you are unsure of when to apply.

For students who had a Spring 2011/Fall 2011 loan (May through December) it is time to re-apply for the Winter 2012/Spring 2012 (January through April) loan. To do this you need to:

• Complete a 2011-2012 FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov

• Print complete and submit the Winter 2012/Spring 2012 Financial Aid Certification Form 

• Please complete the Direct Loan Master Promissory Note if you did not already do so during the Fall/Winter application period - (www.studentloans.gov)
