But First, the FAFSA
To be considered for Federal Financial Aid, you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), a form used by most colleges and universities. The information you provide is then used to determine the extent of your financial need and aid eligibility based on institutional and/or federal guidelines. However, the FAFSA will not be available until October 1.
Don’t wait until you receive your admission decision before filing for financial aid.
Submit your FAFSA anytime after it is released, even if you have not completed your Champlain admissions application. To ensure we receive your information, use Champlain’s FAFSA school code: 003684.
