How Do I Pay for College?
Our expert advice: All students should apply for financial aid and Harper College scholarships each year.
October Financial Aid Tip
The 2021-2022 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opens October 1, 2020. By applying early, you will be considered for the maximum number of financial aid awards.
Filing the 2021-2022 FAFSA is easy and fast, especially when using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) to electronically transfer their federal tax return Information directly into the FAFSA form. You will:
• Use 2019 federal income tax information,
• Use a separate FSA ID for the student and parent, and
• Go online to Complete the FAFSA Form or use the myStudentAid mobile app.
