More than 90 percent of our students receive some form of assistance. The Office of Financial Aid would like to encourage all students to apply for financial assistance. If you have not done so, go online now to complete your Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The priority filing date for Florida A&M University is January 1st.  All students receiving financial aid are responsible for keeping track of their aid file and awards through iRattler, including providing information still needed to complete their financial aid file. Use your "iRattler" and review your Student Financial Planning (SFP) page to find out if your financial aid file is complete or if you have outstanding requirements that will prevent the disbursement of your financial aid.
