Financial Aid

If you need assistance with tuition, the first step is to request a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) from our Financial Aid Office. By filing the FAFSA, you will be considered for all aid for which you might be eligible. You should complete the FAFSA at least two months prior to starting classes or as soon as your federal tax return is completed. You will need to reapply for financial aid each year.

Need Help Completing the Paperwork for Financial Aid?
Financial Aid staff will be holding workshops to help new and returning students complete paperwork to receive financial aid. Participants should bring a pencil, calculator, PIN number for signature purposes, appropriate 2007 tax forms and any additional information about household income and/or assets. All workshops will be held at the Sara T. Landess Technology & Learning Center on the Leffel Lane Campus.

Four to six weeks after completing your FAFSA, a Student Aid Report (SAR) will be sent to you. The SAR is used to establish your financial need. Bring the SAR to our Financial Aid Office, and a financial aid package will be put together for you. If you complete the FAFSA online, the SAR will be sent directly to the Financial Aid Office.

In addition to the FAFSA, you will be required to complete a Financial Aid Office application available online and in the Financial Aid Office before any aid can be processed.
