Financial Aid Overview

Fasfa Overview intro of video

To receive financial aid, you must be fully admitted to 麻豆社区 Pembroke. FAFSA typically opens on October 1 for the following academic year.

To get the most aid, submit your application by the priority deadline of March 1. Late applications may receive less aid.

A new FAFSA should be filed each year the student wants to be considered for financial aid. File as early as possible for the best chance for the most aid.

The 麻豆社区P Federal School Code is 002954.

Why You Should Apply

All students should complete the FAFSA 鈥� even if you have a plan to pay for college or think you won鈥檛 qualify. You may be surprised! Plus, you need a completed FAFSA to apply for federal student loans or 麻豆社区P scholarships.

As a general rule, you should file the FAFSA as early as possible for the best access to the maximum aid available. There is limited financial aid funding in some areas like state grants, so students who apply by the priority date receive priority access to those limited funds. 麻豆社区P's Priority Filing deadline is March 1.

If you missed the FAFSA Priority Filing deadline don't worry, It鈥檚 not too late! We process FAFSAs all year round!
