Applying for Federal
Financial Aid
Thousands of students go off to
college unaware that there is federal assistance available to
help with the high costs of attending.
Step 1
The first step in applying for
Federal financial aid is to fill out the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid - FAFSA. The paper application is available
at most high schools and college financial aid offices. The
FAFSA determines your eligibility for a variety of federal
programs:
- Grants
-
Scholarships
- Work
Study
- Loans
For your convenience, an
electronic version of the FAFSA
application is now available on the Web through the
U.S. Department of Education. The electronic version will be
processed much quicker than the paper application.
Items you will need to complete
the FAFSA include:
- Federal
income tax returns and W-2's
- Sources
and amounts of untaxed income
- Asset and
investment information (current bank statements, stocks,
bonds, real estate, investment statements, etc.)
Be sure to keep a copy of the
completed application for your records.
Step 2
An award letter will be mailed to
you by the financial aid office listing the types of aid for
which you qualify. Review the award letter and be sure you
understand the terms and conditions that accompany each type of
award. Be sure you understand which school costs will be covered
by the aid and when it will be credited to your account or
disbursed to you. Sign the award letter, if required, and return
it to the school within the deadline.
