APPLYING
FOR FINANCIAL AID
| STEP
ONE: COMPLETE A FAFSA |
| In
order to receive Federal, State, or Institutional (Florida Christian
College) aid, each student must first complete a
Free Application
for Federal
Student Aid.
The easiest way to do this is to go to www.fafsa.ed.gov.
You may complete and submit your FAFSA after January 1st of
each year. In order to receive the maximum amount of aid that
you are eligible for, you will need to submit your FAFSA by
April 26. This allows your application to be processed by the
May 1 deadline.
You
will need a Personal Identification Number (PIN) in order to
complete your FAFSA. You can receive your PIN by logging onto
www.pin.ed.gov.
If you are a dependent student, your parents will need a pin
as well (they can get their pin on the same website). You will
also need income and tax information from the previous year,
including your W-2 and tax documents along with your parents'
tax information. Be sure to list Florida Christian College in
the school section and enter our school code (015192)
in order to have your info sent to us. |
| STEP
TWO: COMPLETE AN ONLINE FINANCIAL AID INTERVIEW |
Once
you have completed your FAFSA, log-in to our Virtual Financial
Aid office at https://fcc.vfao.com
to complete your online Financial Aid Interview. This quick
and easy process helps us verify your information and allows
us to help you proceed with requested loans, requested grants,
or both. |
| STEP
THREE: SIGN MASTER PROMISSORY NOTE (FOR LOANS) |
If
you are going to apply for loans, you will need to sign a Master
Promissory Note (MPN). This document is a contract between you
and your lender detailing the various aspects of your loan,
and your agreement to fulfill your payment plan. You can do
this by clicking here. |
| STEP
FOUR: APPLY FOR SCHOLARHIPS |
| Now, you
will want to explore any scholarships that you may be eligible
for, including local and national scholarship opportunities. Your
high school guidance counselor is a graet place to start for this
valuable information. To see what FCC scholarships and grants
you may be eligible for, click here. |
