How to Apply for Financial Aid

These steps are a general guideline. Your financial aid process may include more steps, or less, depending on your eligibility and when you begin the process.

All official financial aid correspondence will go to the student's Viking email address. Students may not receive federal financial aid at different colleges during the same semester.
