Electronic filing is faster than filing a paper form. Submitting your Free Application for Federal Student Aid using FAFSA on the Web eliminates delays that can occur from mailing. Also, FAFSA on the Web edits your application before you transmit, ensuring that the data you transmit to the U.S. Department of Education is ready to be processed.

 

Step 1:
Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) completely and submit it over the Internet. Detailed instructions are provided at the website. If you choose to use a printed signature page to sign your FAFSA, you must mail the signature page to the Department of Education. You may electronically sign your application with a PIN. You may request a PIN prior to submitting your FAFSA at http://www.pin.ed.gov or while you are completing your FAFSA and one will be assigned in real time. If parent income and household information is required on your FAFSA, your parent must also have a separate PIN.

Complete and turn in Admissions papers for the college. Also, have your high school send VC an official high school transcript. If you have a G.E.D., bring in your certificate instead.

If you have been to another college and/or trade school, have all such schools send an official academic transcript to VC.
 

Step 2:
After receiving your Student Aid Report, review it and notify us if corrections are necessary.
 

Step 3:
If you have been selected for verification, or if we need additional documentation, we will mail you paperwork which must be completed and/or request the necessary information.
 

Step 4:
Once you have turned in all required paperwork, financial aid personnel will process your file.
 

Step 5:
Watch your mail -- we will send you an award letter!
 

Step 6:
Congratulate yourself on a job well done -- you deserve it!
