Returning Malone students

For those students receiving any type of need-based aid such as grants, work-study or loans from the federal government, state government or Malone, the FAFSA is REQUIRED.

The renewal FAFSA may be filed electronically at www.fafsa.ed.gov. March 1 remains our priority deadline.

FAFSA applications will certainly be accepted after this priority deadline, however, certain types of aid such as Perkins loans, SEOG, and work-study will not be available for students who file their FAFSA after this date due to limited funding.
