Applications for Financial Aid for the 2009-10 Academic Year (Summer 2009 through Spring 2010) are being processed starting Monday, April 6, 2009.
FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) applications are available to prospective and returning students. If you are planning on attending college this summer, fall or spring, you must file this application located at www.FAFSA.ed.gov. If you do not already have an assigned PIN number, you will need to apply for one at www.pin.ed.gov. This PIN will serve as your electronic signature not only for the FAFSA but for student loan processing. Paper FAFSA forms have been replaced with an online FAFSA Worksheet which may be downloaded at the above website or obtained at the Financial Aid Office at the College. The online FAFSA contains the same information as the paper FAFSA but provides more detailed explanations. For 2009-2010, you will need your 2008 Federal tax forms including W-2's and possibly parent tax forms and W-2's. (If you are under 24 years old, not married, have no children that you support, are not a veteran or ward of the court, you will need parental information.)
To better understand the entire FAFSA process, you need to know that the information you submit at www.FAFSA.ed.gov goes to a Central Processor which is an organization that has entered into a contract with the U.S. Department of Education to take student data and ultimately determine a student’s eligibility. Once the information is entered online and you press SUBMIT, the outcome of the Needs Analysis Formula will be electronically transmitted to the colleges whose codes you designated on the website. The College will then load the records into our Banner database and we will then start to correspond with you. Remember, you must have filed an Admissions application and been formally accepted to the College before you can receive financial aid. More information will be provided when you attend an Orientation session.
