Liberal and Professional Studies - Non-Degree Students

2025-2026 Financial Aid Application Checklist
Deadlines

Submit all required applications and documents by June 1, 2025  to ensure timely processing of your financial aid package. Applications received after this date will be processed as quickly as possible. 

The FAFSA becomes available each year on October 1, allowing you to get an early start on next year’s application. Before submitting your FAFSA, please check with SRFS to confirm whether your non-degree program of study is eligible for federal financial aid, as many non-degree programs do not qualify.
