Free Application for Federal Student Aid<\/h3>\n

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is the form that studets should fill out to request federal financial aid to help pay for college. Marymount, like many other colleges and universitites, uses the FAFSA to help determine the type and amount of aid available to each student. It is important to remember: the FAFSA application opens on October 1, and students must submit a new application each year. Additionally,\u00a0it is the student’s responsibility to update\u00a0financial information that may change with the University as it may change the status of loans and grants.<\/p>\n
