Student Assistance
There are many forms of student assistance available to help you pay for college. The Financial Aid office at your home college is there to assist you with the application process or to direct you to the appropriate office or agency.
Based on your applications for federal, state, institutional, military, outside scholarships and other tuition benefits/reimbursements, the Financial Aid Office at your home college will determine your student eligiblity and create an award package listing the types and amounts of student aid that you may be eligible to receive.
Federal Aid
To apply for federal aid, you will need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Be sure to list the school code of the college at which you will be enrolling. Federal aid eligibility for grants and loans will be determined by a number of factors such as financial need, available funds, student classification and academic performance.
After your FAFSA has been processed, your college will receive a copy of your Student Aid Report. Please follow up with the Financial Aid Office to determine if you need to provide any documents and to discuss possible aid eligibility.
