All students are eligible for government student loans (amounts based on the year in school) by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. The application opens October 1 of each year and students apply at that time for the following school year.
The FAFSA also determines whether you are eligible for need-based funds such as grants and work-study. In-state students should apply as soon as the application is available since some in-state grants are limited in funding.
Submit FAFSA
Thank you to our generous donors who make the College of Engineering scholarships possible!
