Start by Submitting Your FAFSA

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) allows students to request federal grants, work-study, and loans, all in one application.

When Should I Apply?

The FAFSA application opens October 1 each year.

You can submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.studentaid.gov throughout the year, starting October 1 for the upcoming academic year.

You must submit a new FAFSA each year to renew your federal financial aid for the next academic year.

Who Should Apply?

Everyone Should Submit a FAFSA Application.

We encourage everyone to complete the FAFSA, whatever the family’s income level. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid if your are waiving the FAFSA and do not wish to use Federal student aid, or to receive need based aid (such as scholarships or grants).

When completing your FAFSA, add Randolph College, Federal School code number 003734

Returning students will complete a new FAFSA every year they are in school and wish to receive Federal Student Aid, preferably by June 1. Returning students will not receive a Financial Aid award letter until they have submitted a FAFSA for the upcoming academic year, or have waived the FAFSA with the Office of Financial Aid. Renew your FAFSA.
