Once you have been admitted, the Financial Aid Office will award any federal, state, and Centenary grants based on your FAFSA. You should complete your FAFSA at the same time as you apply for admission. If you have already completed your FAFSA, you can add Centenary’s school code of 002599 by making a correction online at fafsa.gov. Remember to complete the 2022-2023 FAFSA for Spring 2023 aid and to complete the 2023-2024 FAFSA for Fall 2023/Spring 2024 aid.
