No. You may complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at any time, as a matter of fact we encourage you to go on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov and get started. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the FAFSA and receive a valid SAR (Student Aid Report) prior to meeting with the financial aid office. Back To Top
Approximately two months before your class starts we will review your student aid report to determine your eligibility. If everything is in order, we will mail you an award offer. If there are some items that need to be resolved, we will contact you and may ask you to schedule an appointment. Back To Top
Yes. Your income doesn’t matter except that it may cause all or some of your loan funds to be Unsubsidized (Unsubsidized means that interest will be accruing during your in-school and grace period). Back To Top
Because if you are Pell eligible, most employers require that Pell be applied to your fees first, and then your employer pays all or part of the balance. The financial aid office has to let your employer know if you are eligible or not, and we need your FAFSA results in order to determine this. Back To Top

No, any current loans would be canceled when you leave the other school and you will have to re-apply for new loans. You may not be able to get full new loan amounts if there is an overlapping loan period between schools. If you have Pell you will be awarded based on the percentage you have already used at the other school. For example, your award at the other school was $4050 and you used 50% ($2025). Your award here is $3700. You have 50% remaining eligibility so the maximum amount for this school would be $1850 ($3700 X 50%). Back To Top
NO, you can only have one SAR per award year. If you file a new FAFSA the Dept. of Education will just reject it. What you need to do is correct your current SAR by adding our school code of 014694. Back To Top

Not necessarily. The qualifying question is do you provide more than 50% support for your children? For instance, you have little or no income, you and your child are living with your parents and they are providing most of your needs, then they would be the ones providing over 50% Back To Top
In order to receive financial aid your diploma must be equivalent to a U.S. diploma. It is the student’s responsibility to have the diploma reviewed by a credential evaluator. You may request a list of evaluators from the financial aid office. The evaluators do charge for this service. Keep in mind that this process can take several weeks, so start early. Back To Top
No, if you are in default you are not able to receive any Title IV aid, as a matter of fact you may not be able to receive other sources of funding such as WIA. Once the default is resolved you will again be eligible. Any default status must be completely resolved at least one month prior to the program start date. If you are already in the program and go into default your aid will be suspended and you will become responsible for tuition and fees Back To Top
