Financial Aid
financial aid WORKSHOP - Wednesday, OCTOBER 5TH @ 6:00 pm
FAFSA applications are open! Just like applying for schools, we recommend completing your FAFSA ASAP!
You will need:
2021 Federal Tax Return and W2s
2021 Amended Tax Returns if filed
2021 Untaxed Income Records, such as child support or veteran’s non-education benefits
Information on savings, investments, business assets and farm assets (if applicable)
Cell phone (if you have one)
Driver’s License (if you have one)
Social Security Number/Alien Registration Card/Permanent Resident Card
Date of birth for parent(s)
Month and year of parents’ marriage, divorce or separation
FSA ID (if you have one). You can visit studentaid.gov to create your FSA ID.
The FSA ID is your signature, so it has to be unique to you and will be your FSA ID for life.
Every student and at least one parent of a dependent student will need an FSA ID.
If a parent already has an FSA ID or has more than one child attending college, the parent will use the same FSA ID to sign all applications, but each child must have his or her own FSA ID.
Each FSA ID user must have a unique mobile phone number and/or personal email address.
