Apply for Aid
Once you’re familiar with the types of financial aid available, and estimated costs, it’s time to start the financial aid process. A couple things you’ll need to get started: our FAFSA and CSS codes for your aid applications.

Federal Verification
If your FAFSA is selected for Federal Verification, we will be in contact with you and your family on specific additional requirements as needed. You may be required to submit the 2025-2026 Verification Worksheet. This worksheet must be completed, signed by the student and parent, and submitted upon receipt of notification along with all other documents to IDOC.
Please be advised that your application for financial aid will be considered incomplete if we do not receive all requested documents necessary to complete the verification process. This will cause the cancellation of all previously offered federal and state aid.
If your federal Student Aid Index (SAI) changes as a result of verification, causing a change to your financial aid eligibility, you will receive a revised financial aid notification in your STAR portal.
