How to Apply For Financial Aid
Begin by completing the Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) online via School and Student Services (SSS).
The PFS is a comprehensive application that will take 2 hours to complete if you have your financial documents organized and most recent tax return available. Please review the tools and information SSS provides to help families with the process.
A member of our Affordability Team will contact you once SSS has processed your application.
