STEP 1: Complete the fafsa
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This is your gateway to most types of financial aid including the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Colorado Student Grant, Career and Technical Education Grant, and Colorado Work-Study. The FAFSA is only applicable for Financial Aid eligible programs.
In order to qualify you must:Â
- Apply to Emily Griffith Technical College and be accepted in a Qualified Federal Financial Aid Program.
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every academic year. The Emily Griffith Technical College Federal School Code is 005596.
- Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen.
- Meet Emily Griffith Technical College Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy requirements.
- Not be in default with any federal student loan programs.
- Have a High School Diploma or GED® or completed homeschooling.
STEP 2: Review your Student Aid Report (SAR)
After submitting the FAFSA, you will receive your SAR by email. It will summarize your FAFSA information and provide insight into your financial aid eligibility. Correct anything that’s wrong with your FAFSA.
STEP 3: verification
According to the Department of Education, before offering Federal Student Aid, we may ask you to confirm the information you reported on your FAFSA. To verify that you provided the correct information, we will compare your FAFSA with the information on the verification forms and with any other required documents. If there are differences, your FAFSA information will be corrected.Â
STEP 4: review
Review your aid offer from Emily Griffith Technical College.
Keep in mind, your financial aid file will not be completed until you have been accepted into a qualified federal financial aid program and you are eligible to register.
