How to Apply
Step 1
-
Complete the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) either online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov or
complete a paper application and mail it in the envelope
provided.
-
List Highline Community College, 2400 S.
240th St., Des Moines, WA in Step 5. Our Title IV Code is
003781.
-
Complete the
Financial Aid Data
Sheet and return it to the Financial Aid Office.
-
Complete an
Admissions Application either in person or online.
-
Make sure that the Federal Processor
receives your complete and accurate application and all other
requested documentation is submitted to our office by the
Awarding Cycle Dates.
Step 2
-
In about 4-6 weeks you will receive a yellow (2007-2008) Student Aid Report (SAR) in the mail or an
electronic acknowledgement via email from the Central Processor.
It will confirm that you have listed Highline Community College
and that your information was released to us. We will
receive your application data electronically. We will then
send you a letter indicating how you can check the status of
your application. If Highline is not listed on your SAR
when you receive it, please bring in your SAR to the Financial
Aid office, or call (206) 878-3710 ext. 3358.
-
Check your
Financial Aid Status online.
-
Also, please use our
Application Checklist
to assist you in completing your file by the awarding cycle
date.
-
If your file requires additional documents,
you may access the financial aid
online forms or contact our office
at (206) 878-3710 ext. 3358.
Step 3
-
If you complete your file by our awarding
cycle date, submit all required paperwork to the Financial Aid
Office, and are eligible for financial aid, you will receive
an award notification in the mail as soon as your award is
processed. This process can take approximately 3 months
from the time you complete the FAFSA.
-
If you are awarded Work-Study, you must
attend a workshop.
-
If you are awarded a Federal Loan, and have
not attended a
Stafford Loan Workshop at Highline in the past, you are
required to attend the workshop before we can process your loan
request.
