First-Year Next Steps

This list is helpful for families whose student will be entering their first year.

• Sign up for the Husson Family newsletter. It’s free!
• Join the Official Husson University Family Group
• Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) – the first step in applying for financial aid. 

  Because of significant Department of Education processing delays, we will not have information about FAFSA submissions or financial aid until at least the beginning of March. Once FAFSA data is released to us, we are committed to sharing financial aid information as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.
