Apply Early- Please
remind students that the FAFSA is available to fill out on January 1st
of every year. Why should students apply early?
– Because some federal programs have limited funding and those
programs are awarded first come first serve, based on the students eligibility.
Be pro-active –
Encourage your students to be pro-active and always follow-up with the
FA office. Why should students follow-up?
– Because the FAFSA is not the only process a student must complete,
the financial office may require additional documentation before the
student can be awarded.
Call for answers
– This is the time to have your students build a relationship with
their FA counselor. Why should students call their FA Counselor?
– Because their FA counselor is there to help, they understand
that the financial aid process can be a little overwhelming the first
time. We want to answer any questions your students may have to help
make this process as seamless as possible.
