Financial Aid Application
Process
2008-2009
STEP 1.
JANUARY 2008
Complete the 2008-2009 FAFSA or the
Renewal FAFSA mailed to your home. If the Renewal Application is
not available, the 2008-2009 FAFSA should be used.
Organize your and your parents' 2007
income information which you will need to complete the FAFSA accurately.
You will need 2007 income records such as 2007 W2-forms, 2007 Federal
Income 1040 Tax returns if available and records of untaxed income
received during 2007, including income earned but paid in cash.
NOTE: The FAFSA is required
for most student aid programs, including grants, loans, and federal
work-study.
STEP 2.
MARCH 2008
Mail the FAFSA no later than March 2,
2008. NEW Cal Grant applicants must also mail the completed GPA
verification form to the California Student Aid Commission no later than
March 2, 2008.
|
NOTE: Students may still
complete the FAFSA after March 2nd and will still be considered
for financial aid at Santa Ana or Santiago Canyon College.
However, the March 2nd deadline must be met to be considered for
Cal Grant programs. |
STEP 3.
APRIL - MAY 2008
Complete the packet of supplemental
forms mailed to the student. The deadline to submit the
supplemental forms for priority consideration for financial aid at RSCCD
is July 31, 2008.
Once the FAFSA has been processed by
the processing center (usually within four to six weeks after submitting
the FAFSA), a Student Aid Report (SAR) will be mailed to the student and
all colleges listed on the FAFSA will receive the student's record.
As we receive processed FAFSA records, a packet of supplemental forms
will be mailed to students beginning in June.
