Financial Aid Information

How do I apply for Financial Aid?

To receive financial aid the next academic year you must file a 2008-2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Jackson Community College School code is: 002274

What is the FAFSA?

The FAFSA form is used to apply for federal and state financial aid, including grants, loans, and work-study.

PIN Number?

Students and parents are encouraged to obtain PIN numbers, in order to electronically sign your FAFSA form. Please see the directions below regarding how to obtain yours and/or your parent(s) four digit PIN number(s). Electronic filing is the fastest way to apply for financial aid.

How do I file my FAFSA electronically?

Submit your application at www.fafsa.ed.gov and print a copy of the results for your personal records. Please see the directions below regarding how to file online. Remember to mail the “Signature Page”, if you and your parents do not have PIN numbers to sign the application electronically.

When will I receive results from my filing my FAFSA?

If you filed electronically and made no errors, you will be able to view and print your results at the FAFSA website using your PIN number. The results are referred to as the Student Aid Report (SAR). If you made an error in filing, you will receive your SAR via email if you provided an email address when applying or via US mail if you did not provide an email address.

What should I do with the Student Aid Report (SAR)?

Immediately review your SAR, to make certain all of your information is correct.

I filed my FAFSA but have not received my SAR. Now what?

If you are unable to electronically view your SAR or do not receive a paper SAR within four weeks of filing, immediately call the Federal Student Aid Information Center toll-free at 1-800-433-3243.
