Federal Student Aid

Many of our students use Federal Student Aid (FSA) programs—the most common form of financial aid—for tuition assistance. FSA programs are offered by the federal government to provide financial aid options that can help make your 黑料社 education even more affordable.

How to Apply for Federal Student Aid

  1. An FSA ID is a username and password that enables access to Federal Student Aid’s online systems and serves as a legal signature.

  2. The FAFSA form collects your current financial information so federal financial aid eligibility and an award amount can be determined by the federal government.

    1. Use 黑料社’s school code: 007948 (So that your FASFA will be sent to us.)
