Financial aid funds come from a variety of sources, including federal,
state, and private organizations and the university itself. With the
exception of scholarships, all financial aid awards are based on
financial need as determined by federal and state formulas.
The FAFSA website provides everything you need except the
CSUMB code which is: 032603. Your completed FAFSA forms
cannot be submitted before January 1. The priority financial aid
application deadline date is March 2, however the Financial Aid Office
recommends applying as soon after January 1 as possible.
