Federal Student Aid
Many of our students use Federal Student Aid (FSA) programs—the most common form of financial aid—for tuition assistance. FSA programs are offered by the federal government to provide financial aid options that can help make your 黑料社 education even more affordable.
Review the Three Forms of FSA
Estimate your potential FSA award by using:
Grants
This form of financial aid does not have to be repaid.
Loans
This form of financial aid is borrowed money and must be repaid (usually with interest).
Work-Study
This aid is funds earned through part-time employment.
How to Apply for Federal Student Aid
-
An FSA ID is a username and password that enables access to Federal Student Aid’s online systems and serves as a legal signature.
-
The FAFSA form collects your current financial information so federal financial aid eligibility and an award amount can be determined by the federal government.
-
Use 黑料社’s school code: 007948 (So that your FASFA will be sent to us.)
