The process of applying for aid can seem complicated and time consuming. We want to make it go as smoothly as possible for you.

For Credit and Degree-Seeking Students

Take the first big step and complete your FAFSA. The priority deadline is March 1, but you can apply at any time! Even if you think you don’t qualify for financial aid or don’t meet the priority deadline, you must complete the FAFSA to apply for scholarships through Scholarship Finder at CSM.
