Need-Based Financial Aid
Spring Applicants
How to Apply

- Complete the FAFSA online at by November 15. You and your parent must have an FSA ID to electronically sign the FAFSA.
- Ãå±±ÂÖ¼éUniversity's FAFSA Code Number is 002078.
Application Deadline & Notification Dates
The final deadline to apply for need-based financial aid is November 15, but we encourage you to apply as soon as you can. If you submit your FAFSA and are accepted to the University, you will receive your financial aid package within a week of your acceptance.
Merit scholarship notification will be sent with the admission decision, and no separate application is required for merit awards. You will automatically be considered for every award we offer, ranging from $25,000-$35,000 each year.
Fall Early Decision I and Early Action Applicants
Updated: 9/4/2024
Typically, the FAFSA becomes available on October 1. However, the U.S. Department of Education has announced that the 2025-26 FAFSA won't be available until December 1, 2024. This delay means that students applying for Early Decision I or Early Action admission may not have access to the FAFSA in time to receive their official need-based financial aid package alongside their admission and merit scholarship decisions.
To address this challenge, Ãå±±ÂÖ¼éhas introduced the Ãå±±ÂÖ¼éEarly Aid Form (LEAF) for Early Decision I and Early Action applicants. The LEAF will be available in October, allowing families to receive a need-based financial aid package within 24 hours of their admission decision. This preliminary offer will give you a valuable estimate of the financial support Ãå±±ÂÖ¼émay provide.
If the information you submit on the LEAF matches the FAFSA data you later provide, we will guarantee the amount of total grant aid included in your early package. Families will still need to submit the official FAFSA once it becomes available in December to finalize the aid process and receive their official award.
More details will be shared soon.
Fall Early Decision II and Regular Decision Applicants
The 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will be available in December 2024. Early Decision II and Regular Decision applicants and families should plan to complete and submit the FAFSA as soon as it’s available to ensure you’re considered for the maximum amount of aid that you’re eligible for.
