Financial Aid Application Procedures

All applicants will be sent an SSA scholarship application when the School has received your application for admission. Consideration for SSA scholarships is based on this application. Every effort is made to inform applicants of their scholarship awards at the same time as the admissions decision.

In order to be considered for additional forms of financial aid (including Perkins loans, Stafford loans, University loans, and work study) students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as possible.

A few of the questions on the admission application form are designed to provide the information needed by the School in order to consider grants that have special eligibility requirements and to suggest sources outside the School to which the student may wish to apply.

Note: Students should not apply to a specific School-administered fund. Applicants for scholarship assistance from the School need only file an Application for Financial Aid to be considered for any of the above-mentioned funds.
