Step 5 - Maintain Your Funding

To maintain your financial aid award, continue to make satisfactory progress toward your degree requirements and remain in good academic standing. Review our Satisfactory Academic Progress Policies for further information.

Most financial aid programs require at least half-time enrollment (6 credits for undergraduate students; 3 credits for graduate students) each semester. Please see the individual financial assistance programs on this site for minimum credit requirements.

Renew Your FAFSA Every Year

Need-based financial aid awards are not automatically renewed each year. To maintain eligibility, be sure to file your FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov as early as January 1. 

Return to Step 2: Apply for Aid for deadlines and further information.
