Understanding FAFSA Delays
We recognize that many of you are still experiencing delays with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) processing and that these delays can create uncertainty and stress as you plan for your college education.

- No Rush Means Less Stress: Being a Peacock means offering support so our goal in accepting deposits through the summer is to provide you with more time to navigate FAFSA issues and secure your spot this fall without feeling rushed.
