Apply for Aid: Current Undergraduate
This page provides step-by-step instructions for current undergraduate students interested in applying for financial aid.
1. Complete Your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Form
To apply for federal student aid, and institutional need-based aid, complete the FAFSA form. The FAFSA is a free application that gives you access to various types of financial aid to help pay for college. The 2027-2028 FAFSA form became available on October 1st, 2026.
Institutional funding is limited. Complete your FAFSA form by the Priority Filing Date to be considered:
- Current Students: March 1, 2027
When completing your FAFSA form, be sure to include Arizona's school code (001083) to avoid delays in the processing of your aid. Remember, you need to complete a FAFSA form each year!
Once your FAFSA form has been processed by Federal Student Aid, our team will be sent a copy and we’ll use that information to generate your financial aid offer. We will begin importing FAFSA information into our system in December.
Financial aid offers for continuing students will be available starting in late spring 2027. You’ll be notified via text and email once your financial aid offer is ready for review.
What happens after you file your FAFSA?
2. Explore Additional Funding Opportunities
The FAFSA form determines your eligibility for financial aid like grants and loans, but other scholarship opportunities are out there!
