Graduate StudentsĪll graduate university scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships are awarded by the respective academic departments. Aid offers made after the late deadline may contain only direct aid, such as Pell Grants (for exceptionally needy students who qualify) and loans from the Federal Direct Loan programs.

Because we work with limited funds in the campus-based federal and university need-based programs, aid from these programs are awarded on a funds available basis. Late Processing FAFSA DeadlineĪpplications received after the late deadline are processed on a rolling basis. Filing your FAFSA by the priority deadline and promptly responding to any requests for additional documentation will result in the student receiving their Financial Aid Notification letter on the earliest date. The priority deadline is most important for prospective undergraduate students since these students need their complete financial aid package to make a final decision on what school they will be attending. This date also gives Catholic University the time required to review and complete any federal or institutional verification. This date gives a reasonable amount of time for the student/parent to correct any errors, resolve federal database mismatches and provide any additional documentation requests from the Department of Education and Catholic University. The priority deadline is the date by which you should have filed your FAFSA.
