The Free Application for Federal Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) for the 2017-2018 academic year is now open. Students and families will be able to complete the FAFSA using information from their 2015 tax returns.
Now that students can apply for financial aid packages earlier, OLLU can provide financial aid notifications earlier, ensuring that students and their families have more time to prepare for education costs and provide additional time for OLLU to offer beneficial financial aid counseling.
For more information, students are encouraged to visit the Financial Aid Office and speak with a counselor.
Health screenings will be available for OLLU Medical Plan participants on Wednesday from 6:30-9:30 a.m. in Providence Hall, Blue Room.
