Gonzaga requires all students applying for need-based financial aid to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, WASFA, or Needs Analysis form. We encourage families to submit the FAFSA as soon as possible. Our FAFSA filing priority consideration dates are as soon as possible for first-year and transfer students. Please visit Gonzaga’s New FAFSA (FAFSA Simplification) page for more information about the new FAFSA.
