Financial Aid

We understand many of our students are affected by recent economic challenges.
If you are experiencing a financial hardship apply for Florida Atlantic CARES Emergency Funding.

The Office of Student Financial Aid is closely monitoring the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and awaiting further guidance from the U.S. Department of Education. Most changes impacting financial aid are scheduled to go into effect starting July 1, 2026. These changes particularly impact Federal student loan borrowing due to new borrowing limits as well as the elimination of the Graduate PLUS Loan program (with some grandfathering provisions for previous loan borrowers). For more information and updates, visit Federal Student Aid's One Big Beautiful Bill Act Updates page.
