Students who are applying for the upcoming Fall semester and who have their applications completed January thru March should receive an award letter in June regarding their financial eligibility. Students who are applying later than that will be notified approximately 4 to 6 weeks after their FAFSA has been filed. The earlier in the year that you file your FAFSA the more efficient the process will be as a whole.

Subsidized and unsubsidized stafford loans are awarded based on the information submitted on the FAFSA. The EFC (Expected Family Contribution) as determined by the FAFSA is compared to the Student Budget. When the EFC is lower than the student budget, that gap is used to determine eligibility for need based aid programs (Subsidized Stafford Loans)

Eligibility is based on the information provided on the FAFSA and by following the federal guidelines for the funds available.

Have a high school diploma or equivalent, or pass an "ability to benefit" test prior to receipt of Federal funds. Depending on your eligibility, you may receive financial aid if you are enrolled in fewer than 12 units. The amount you receive is based on the number of units in which you are enrolled.

Financial aid eligibility is calculated using formulas established by the Department of Education, which is a branch of the federal government. The Office of Financial Aid is mandated by law to use those formulas when determining how much you can contribute toward paying your college expenses. To apply for aid, you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) either on-line or by picking up a paper FAFSA at any high school or community college.

You continue to be eligible and will receive financial aid support under Compton Community College or the auspices of another college's accreditation. In other words, the answer is the same as above.

Financial aid eligibility is based on the information provided by students on the FAFSA. Cost of attendance, income and assets of students, tuition assistance from employers all factor into the determination of financial aid eligibility.

You must reapply for financial aid each year and supply all requested documents. For best results, apply early. In addition, you must maintain satisfactory academic progress. For more information, refer to the satisfactory academic progress section on our web site or you may stop by the financial aid office to pick up a copy of the policy statement.

Based on the information provided on your FAFSA, the federal government will determine your family?s expected family contribution (EFC). The difference between the cost of attendance at the college you attend and your EFC is your financial need. After filing your FAFSA, you and all of the schools you listed on your FAFSA will receive a copy of your student aid report (SAR). This document lists all of the information you provided and gives you a chance to review that information for accuracy.

Your financial aid eligibility will be determined by subtracting your family's ability to pay for your educational expenses for the year (as measured by the FAFSA) from your estimated total costs for the year (including tuition, fees, room, board, books, transportation and miscellaneous/personal expenses). Financial aid eligibility is usually expressed as follows:

Freshmen and transfer financial aid packages go out on a rolling basis beginning March 10th or before. Returning students receive notice of renewal financial aid packages in June in response to a timely filed FAFSA.

Financial need is based on each tax year, ending December 31st, so you canâ??t know all the numbers until at least January 1st. Many folks donâ??t apply until after parents receive their W-2â??s in February. You can get a jump on the process if you use pay stubs and other information to figure out income and related info before that.

No separate application for financial aid is necessary for financial support from Indiana University. Successful applicants can expect to receive a financial support package, which typically includes a stipend for living expenses, health insurance, and a full tuition scholarship.
