The earlier the FAFSA is completed, the sooner students will hear about their award. Early filing also increases the chances of being considered for all aid programs. Assistance is available from UMD’s Financial Aid office. If you need financial aid, please start filling out the FAFSA online: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov
