2024-25 FAFSA Simplification
The new 2024-2025 FAFSA is NOW available! Read about the changes here.
Due to the delays with the rollout of the 24-25 FAFSA and release of FAFSA data to institutions by the federal government, there will be delays in official Financial Aid Offers. To receive an estimated Financial Aid Offer package for CSI for the 24-25 academic year, complete the Net Price Calculator (NPC). You will need the Student Aid Index (SAI) received upon completion of the FAFSA along with basic income information for input into the NPC. Be sure to include your email so we can assist with any questions you may have.
