CEU Central will be providing students with an easier way to join the line for student services without physically waiting in line. Starting May 20, CEU students will be able to enter a virtual queue for financial aid, registrar and student account services from anywhere by using BearQ. This system allows students to check-in remotely via mobile app, our online kiosk or by coming in person. Plus, students will receive text notifications of their estimated wait times and when they’re next in line.

How to Apply for Aid

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2023-24 year is now open! Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 1 to be considered for the maximum amount of financial aid.

If you miss the March 1 deadline, you should still submit a FAFSA as soon as possible. Applying is free, and aid is awarded to most students ranging from those with demonstrated financial need to students with a record of high achievement, as well as those who may need some federal loan assistance.
