Investing in Your Future
Furthering your education is an investment. CollegeBoard found that in 2018, the average income of full-time workers with a bachelor's degree was 61% higher than their peers with only a high school diploma. Those with a graduate and professional degrees earned even more on average. You can view more of CollegeBoard's research here.
Financial Aid News
2024-2025 FAFSA Application Available Now!
We encourage you to complete the 2024-2025 FAFSA as soon as today if you have not completed it as of yet. For new students with correct FAFSA information, we anticipate being able to send award notices by the end of April. For continuing students with correct FAFSA information, we expect to be able to make awards beginning the first week in June.
The FAFSA Simplification Act was enacted by Congress as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. This law reduces the number of questions students will have to answer on the form, makes crucial changes to the Higher Education Act of 1965 to expand Pell Grant eligibility and removes outdated restrictions to make federal student aid more accessible to all students.

President Biden, Vice President Harris, and the U.S. Department of Education have announced a Student Debt Relief plan that allows eligible borrowers to receive up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt forgiveness. Information regarding this three-part Student Debt Relief plan is detailed in the recent announcement.
Through the Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid portal, borrowers can access their federal student aid and loan history using their Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) and password. Once logged in, borrowers should select the drop-down arrow next to their names (located in the top navigation bar) and select the dashboard option.
For questions regarding federal aid or the Student Debt Relief please contact the Department of Education at 1-800-872-5327 or submit an inquiry at www.ed.gov/answers.
