Each student interested in applying for financial aid must complete the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at
www.fafsa.ed.gov , FAFSA on the Web includes built in edits to help detect
and correct errors before submitting. It also contains skip logic to allow the
student and/or parents to skip unnecessary questions. You also have the ability
to check your application status or make corrections online.

| 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.
