Graduate students, if you miss the priority deadline, it’s not too late. Applications for graduate federal aid are accepted on a rolling basis. We recommend you complete the FAFSA at least one month before the semester begins to prevent significant delays in receiving your aid at the start of the semester.

You are responsible for paying any tuition charges if your aid is not processed by the time your bill is due. You will then receive a refund if aid is subsequently credited to your account.

Maryland residents must complete the FAFSA no later than March 1 for state aid consideration.
