Questions?
Ask Don!
Meeting deadlines is an important part of the financial aid process since many aid programs have limited funding.
By completing the FAFSA and scholarship application by their deadlines, OSFS considers the student for awards from limited-funding programs. (The Spring-Only deadline helps assure timely processing of the FAFSA; it does not provide priority consideration for limited-funding programs.)
You can apply for financial aid with the FAFSA at any time during the academic year. Some loans and grants, such as the Pell Grant, are available to eligible students regardless of when you apply.
Important Deadlines
FAFSA Priority Funding Deadline for Summer/Fall/Spring March 31
FAFSA Deadline for Spring Only September 30
Freshman Scholarship Application Deadline December 1 (the year before!)
Continuing & Transfer Student Scholarship Application Deadline April 1

Other Important University Deadlines
Admissions:
Entering students must make sure to meet admissions deadlines. All students must stay on top of their academic advising requirements.
Tuition & Fees:
For students who register early, make sure to meet the tuition payment deadline so that your classes are not dropped. You are notified of this deadline by Tuition and Fee Billing. Students with adequate financial aid can choose to "Pay With Financial Aid" as a means of meeting this deadline - but this option must be chosen each semester.
Housing:
If you plan to stay on campus, make sure that you meet housing deadlines as well.
The Financial Aid Calendars and these University Calendars can help you stay ahead of the game in meeting all of these important deadlines.
