An application for student assistance will be considered for a financial aid package only after the student has been admitted to the university and the Graduate Stafford Loan Worksheet and the processed FAFSA have been received.

Admitted students who have completed the FAFSA and Graduate Stafford Loan Worksheet by March 1 will receive loan processing priority over other applicants.
