The 2025-2026 FAFSA is open! Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the most important step to receive financial aid to pay for college. It is your gateway to grants, work-study options and student loans. Because some federal aid programs have limited funds, it is best to fill out the FAFSA as soon as it is available.

Include Alverno’s school code (003832) in your application.

You can find information on how to file your FAFSA here. If you need additional assistance filling out the form, click here.

Once your FAFSA and any required documents are processed, you’ll receive an email notification when your financial aid award letter is available in the Self-Service Portal.

Confirm your place at Alverno by paying your $100 enrollment deposit through Alverno's Self-Service Portal. This deposit is applied toward your tuition. To make your deposit, log in with your Alverno username and password and navigate to Student Finance.

Once we receive your deposit, watch your Alverno email for further announcements about orientation.
