Financial Aid Guide

  • The Financial Aid Office and students must follow Federal and Washington State regulations.  Aid will not be awarded until all required forms are completed and received. Six weeks after submitting your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you may check the status of your application. Any conflicting information on your application must be clarified before aid will be awarded. Applying for aid usually takes two to three months to complete and in some cases it may take longer. Please plan ahead.

The information that you report on your application is used to determine your eligibility.  When your file is complete, we will evaluate your application and notify you of your eligibility.  We use the following formula to determine your eligibility:

2008 -2009 School & Living Expenses - Expected Family Contribution (EFC)  - Other Resources = Financial Need
