The Office of University Financial Aid begins mailing award letters for the upcoming school year in March, which is also the month when new students have access to online student employment applications.
April 15 is the priority deadline for College of Arts & Sciences students applying for financial aid. Bethel will provide the best funding to students who have submitted all necessary forms by this date. Later applications will be processed, but may receive reduced funding.

Students must reapply for financial aid at Bethel each year. The priority date for submitting all forms is April 15, but it is recommended that families complete the paperwork shortly after filing their 2007 federal taxes.
