Regarding the 2026-2027 FAFSA

If you plan to complete the FAFSA application (which helps with your college financial aid), please wait to submit your scholarship application until you have submitted your FAFSA application and obtained the SAI Submission Report. While the FAFSA is not mandatory for this scholarship application, it is very important for the Scholarship Committee's review of your application and the awarding process. We strongly encourage eligible applicants to complete it and include the SAI Submission Report with their application.

Noncitizens should also complete the FAFSA and select "No, I am not a citizen or eligible noncitizen." Although they are not eligible for federal financial aid, completing the form can be helpful when applying for state and private scholarships, such as this.
