Maria College encourages all students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Even if students don’t think they are eligible for financial aid, we encourage them to apply because many scholarships require the need determination that is determined from completing the FAFSA.
Steps to completing your Financial Aid application:
If you have never completed the FAFSA you will need to obtain a FSA ID at studentaid.gov.
If you are considered a dependent for your aid, you and a parent/guardian will both need a separate FSA ID
Log into the FAFSA at www.studentaid.gov.
Use your/your parents (if you are a dependent) 2023 federal tax return
Complete the FAFSA application for the 2025-2026 academic year
The school code for Maria College is: 002763
Sign the FAFSA using your FSA ID(s)
If you are a NY State Resident and plan to enroll full-time, you should complete the NYS TAP Application. State aid is only available in the Fall and Spring semesters.
