 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

 

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the primary financial aid application needed to be considered for federal and state financial aid. The FAFSA will ask for personal and financial information of the student and his/her parents if the student is considered to be a dependent student.

The FAFSA may be submitted online or via U.S. mail. The processing of the FAFSA may take up to ten business days from the date of electronic submission or may take up to 4 to 8 weeks from the receipt date by the U.S. Department of Education if sent via U.S. mail. For more information on the FAFSA, please visit the following website: www.fafsa.gov
 
If you plan to submit your FAFSA online, the student and his/her parent (if applicable) may opt to apply for a Personal Identification Number (PIN) online. A PIN allows for students and their parent to electronically sign the FAFSA. If a student and/or parent choose not to apply for a PIN, hard copy signatures will need to be sent via U.S. mail. To apply for a PIN, please visit the following website: www.pin.ed.gov
 
If you need assistance completing or submitting the FAFSA, please contact the College of the Sequoias’ Financial Aid Office.

However, it is highly recommended that students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for the BOGFW.
