How to Pay Fees
2024-2025 FAFSA Update
Update 6-10-24: The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) has made important changes to the 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form to make it faster and easier for you to file your FAFSA. These changes have caused delays in preparing financial aid packages for students. Get the latest updates from Columbus State’s Financial Aid team here. Learn More
