• Incorrect application year. Complete the 2024-2025 financial aid application if you are attending Fall 2024/Spring 2025 terms.

• Name does not match Social Security Card. Enter the name that is on your Social Security Card. NO nicknames. If parents do not have a SS#, use 000-00-0000. 
  

• Mistaking parent information for student. When the form says “you” or “your,” it is referring to the student, so make sure to enter your (the student’s) information. If the form is asking for your parent’s information, it will specify that in the question.
