How to Apply for Financial Aid

All applicants seeking financial assistance must submit appropriate application materials and documentation. Most financial assistance is awarded during the Spring and Summer semesters for the following academic year. Therefore, careful attention should be directed to the deadline date.

Because there are insufficient funds to meet the need of all applicants, applications are considered according to the date received. All applications received by the recommended filing date are given equal consideration. Late applications are accepted and processed as additional funds become available.

Recommended Filing Deadline for 2008-2009 is April 1, 2008. You should file as soon after January 1st as possible.

Step One: Students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This can be done online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Prior to filing, families need to secure federal pin numbers at www.pin.ed.gov. One pin is required for the student and one for the parent. These act as signatures for the application.

Step Two: After submitting the FAFSA, the student may link directly to the state grant Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) application.

Step Three: Students will also need to complete FLCC’s Supplemental Application for Financial Aid

If a student does not have computer access, please contact the Financial Aid Office.

Notice of Award: The Financial Aid Office will prepare a notice of award for all accepted students and all returning students who have pre-registered for the Fall semester. This notice will show both the aid being offered by the College and estimates of aid that should be received from outside agencies. Notices of award are prepared on a rolling basis beginning in March.
