2025-2026 FAFSA® Updates
The U.S. Department of Education has announced that the 2025-26 FAFSA will not be available until December 1, 2024. Students applying Early Decision I and II who are seeking need-based aid will need to complete the RIT Financial Aid Application (opens October 1) in addition to the FAFSA. Learn more
RIT/NTID receives support from the federal government, and as a result, students enrolled in the American Sign Language-English interpretation program pay less than one-half of RIT’s tuition.
At RIT/NTID, we pride ourselves on making a great education truly affordable.
