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)
To apply for federal student aid, complete the FAFSA form. The FAFSA is a free application that gives you access to lots of types of financial aid to help pay for college. The 2025-2026 FAFSA form will be available in December 2024.
Institutional funding is limited. Complete your FAFSA by the Priority Filing Date to be considered:
- Current Students: March 1, 2025
When completing your FAFSA, 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!
Expert FAFSA help is available for Arizona high school seniors through Arizona FAFSA Assistance.
