File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 15 if you need financial aid for academic year 2013-14.

March 15 is the FAFSA priority filing deadline. The State of Texas gives priority consideration for its financial aid programs to otherwise eligible students who file FAFSAs by this date. Also, filing FAFSAs by March 15 puts students in a position to receive the most favorable financial aid packages possible, because it ensures our ability to consider for need-based university grants, which are limited.

The Office of Student Financial Services Students provides various forms of assistance to students completing the FAFSA. These include on-campus FAFSA completion seminars through March 14 and an on-line tutorial, 7 Easy Steps to the FAFSA.
