Financial aid offers are provided at the same time as admission decisions. Students admitted through ED I will complete the FAFSA after enrolling to finalize federal student aid eligibility. Colgate meets full financial need for all admitted students, including Early Decision applicants.
Current students should wait for instructions towards the end of the fall 2023 semester before applying for financial aid for 2024-25, due to the delay of the 2024-25 FAFSA.
Do not wait until the launch of the 2024-25 FAFSA in December. Students and parent(s) should create their Federal Student Aid Account (FSA ID) now at studentaid.gov.
Watch the "How to Prepare for the 2024-25 FAFSA Form" webinar hosted by Federal Student Aid on October 25, 2023.
