PRIORITY DEADLINE: February 1st* (Submit by mid-January to allow Dept. of Ed. processing time.)
*Missed the priority deadline? The FAFSA can still be submitted, however some aid may not be available due to limited funding. Complete the FAFSA as soon as possible to maximize eligibility.
Southeast has simplified the Endowed Scholarship process by removing the general application and automatically considering all admitted students for scholarships. In some instances, a student may meet the basic criteria for a scholarship but additional information may be needed to verify full eligibility. If that occurs, the student will receive an email to the Southeast email address asking them to complete an additional application for that specific scholarship.
While not required, completion of the FAFSA (see step 2 above) is recommended as some endowed scholarships require demonstrated financial need, as indicated by the FAFSA.
To see what's next in the process, how/when aid is awarded, and how billing works, make sure to review the information for your particular Student Type(s).
Additionally, check out the video below for general information what happens after you submit your FAFSA!
