Applying early decision requires an Early Decision Agreement Form (included in the Common App) that must be signed by you, your parent(s), and your school counselor.
The most important first step is to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), available October 1.
This form is used to determine your eligibility for any type of financial aid (scholarships, grants, work-study, and loans), and we encourage all families to submit the FAFSA regardless of your financial situation.
If your FASFA is complete, your financial aid and scholarship package will be mailed with your admission decision.
If you have any questions regarding Early Decision at Nazareth, please contact your admissions counselor.
The Early Decision Agreement Form establishes a "good faith" agreement between you and your family, the guidance counselor at your high school, and Nazareth. That means if you are accepted Early Decision, and your financial aid package makes Nazareth College affordable, we anticipate that you will enroll and honor your commitment. If the financial aid process identifies that the available funding and your personal financial situation deem it unfeasible, we will encourage you to pursue other options and will assist in the process. However, we have been very successful in working with families on a personal basis to make your goals a reality.
