Applying for Financial Aid

联邦学生援助免费申请(FAFSA)用于申请经济援助. 奖学金、院校助学金等可能需要额外申请.

学生有资格获得的经济援助金额取决于FAFSA处理者确定的经济需求. 资格由教育部定义为上大学的费用(由学校设定为标准费用)与学生和/或其家庭能够负担的教育费用(由FAFSA衡量)之间的差额。. 这个差额(剩余需求)是经济援助办公室试图通过各种基于需求的经济援助计划来满足的金额.

The FAFSA needs be submitted annually.

  • March 1: 如果申请下一学年的澳门线上博彩官网机构奖学金，FAFSA截止日期
  • July 1: FAFSA确定下一学年州助学金资格的截止日期

General Information

Application Process | Filing Your FAFSA

Application Process | Filing Your FAFSA

联邦学生援助免费申请(FAFSA)用于申请大多数经济援助来源.
 

在学生被考虑获得经济援助之前，他/她必须首先被澳门线上博彩官网录取. 任何拖欠以前教育贷款的经济援助申请人，无论经济需要如何，都不得获得联邦或州的援助. 

FAFSA是一份年度申请，需要在每个学年完成. 

Step 1: Request a FSA ID from the U.S. Department of Education.

Create a FSA ID if this is your first time completing the FAFSA. If you are a dependent student, 你将在FAFSA上提供信息的家长之一也需要 create a FSA ID. 

Step 2: Complete the FAFSA.

Complete the FAFSA using the federal school code for Allen College (030691). 该应用程序将通过提供家庭财务状况的分析来确定财务需求.
 

Step 3: Verification Process (only if selected).

如果你的FAFSA被联邦处理器随机选中进行验证, 财政援助小组将要求提供额外的信息和/或支持文件. This process is required by federal regulation. The more quickly you respond to information requests, the more quickly the process of verification can be completed.
 

Step 4: Student Aid Report (SAR) & Review.

在提交FAFSA后，您将收到一份SAR，其中列出了您在申请中提交的所有信息. This report includes your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). 检查该报告的准确性，并在网上进行必要的更正. 
 

Step 5: Complete Master Promissory Note & Loan Entrance Counseling (if applicable).

如果你计划在就读澳门线上博彩官网期间申请联邦直接学生贷款或家长贷款，并且你没有在其他学院申请过直接贷款, you will need to go to the federal student aid website (www.studentaid.gov)，并在发放贷款前填写主本票(MPN)和贷款入学咨询. Completing this early will assist later in the financial aid process.
Financial Aid Awarding Process

Step 1: Notification of Award.

Upon completion of the FAFSA application process, 您将通过您的澳门线上博彩官网电子邮件帐户收到一封电子邮件，提供如何通过学生门户网站查看经济援助奖励的说明. Generally, 学生将在春季或初夏收到澳门线上博彩官网下一个夏天的奖励的通知, fall and spring academic semesters.
 

Step 2: Accepting the Award.

不需要偿还的资助(助学金和奖学金)将自动被接受并为学生处理. 在任何贷款资金将支付到您的账单之前，必须通过学生门户网站上的奖励信以电子方式接受贷款. 
 

Step 3: Disbursement of Financial Aid.

经济援助在通过学生门户网站接受奖状后支付.
 
  • Before aid is available: Students should be prepared to pay preliminary expenses (i.e. books and supplies) regardless of their financial aid awards. 在开学之前，贷款和助学金并不总是现成的. 购买图书不应拖延到收到财政援助之后.
  • How aid is applied经济援助将首先用于所有未支付的澳门线上博彩官网学杂费. Funds are applied to your account on a semester basis.
  • Refund:如果你获得的经济援助资金超过了欠澳门线上博彩官网的金额, a refund check will be issued. 退款支票将邮寄到注册管理办公室存档的最新账单地址. 这张退款支票必须用于支付学生可能与澳门线上博彩官网一起就读的任何其他学院的任何未付账单, and any other expenses related to the student's education (books, transportation, living and personal expenses).
