Financial Aid Update

The 2024-2025 FAFSA is now open for Fall 2024 applications, but the U.S. Department of Education has delayed the transmission of financial aid data to colleges and universities until “the first half of March.”

We are aware that many applicants need financial aid offers to make an informed college decision and we encourage Fall 2024 applicants to complete the FAFSA at studentaid.gov.

Our Financial Aid department will work to provide financial aid offers as soon as we begin receiving FAFSA data, and we invite families to reach out to us about the many resources available to students and families.

Mitchell College will observe the national College Decision Day on June 1, 2024, and will continue to admit students and package financial aid on a rolling basis. We hope this extension helps students and families who are dealing with uncertainty due to the U.S. Department of Education’s delays.
