To apply for financial aid, a student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The application must be completed with extreme care and accuracy. Our Financial Assistance Department is available to assist students in the completion of this form and to answer any questions.
Step 1 – Apply for a Federal Student Aid PIN
Go to the website www.pin.ed.gov and sign up for a Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Step 2 – Complete the FASFA on the Web Worksheet
It can be a little confusing, but we can help. If you have questions contact your FA Administrator at the campus. Their business card is also included in the folder. If you are really confused, schedule an appointment to come in and let us assist you.
Step 3 – Enter your Worksheet Information into the FASFA on the Web
Log into the website at www.FAFSA.ed.gov and input the application information. Use your Federal Student PIN to electronically sign the form.
Step 4 – Contact your Financial Aid Office
Usually within three days of submitting your application on the web site, the campus will receive an electronic processed copy of your application information. It will have all the necessary information to start calculating what you are eligible for, so set up an appointment to come in and see what is available.
Step 5 – Follow through!
At your individual meeting with your FAO, you may have to do some additional work based upon your funding package. Follow the instructions and it will all go smoothly.
At any time you feel the need to ask a question, give us a call.
We will make it as simple and easy as possible.
The FAFSA is used to determine eligibility for many types of financial aid programs including State Aid. Once processed, the application will produce the EFC which determines eligibility for Federal Aid. |
