When do I submit my FAFSA?
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) should be completed by April 1. Complete the Renewal FAFSA at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
Complete the entire student section and, if dependent, the parent section of the form. Both the student and, if dependent, parent must electronically sign the FAFSA before submission.

Why did my work-study award amount change?
Work-study awards may be modified or cancelled if your financial need changes. This could occur if adjustments to income are made on the FAFSA, additional scholarships and grants are received, or when you and your family decide it is necessary to take out additional loans thereby reducing or eliminating need.
