Introduction:
There are three basic types of financial aid:
- Grants - Awards that a student does not have to repay.
- Federal Work-Study - Part-time work earned monthly.
- Loans - Money that a student can borrow and must repay with interest.
How to Apply for Financial Aid: All students are encouraged to apply for the array of Federal and State Financial Aid programs offered at Solano Community College. By completing the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA, students will automatically be considered for most federal and state programs.
The FAFSA is typically available in December of each year and should be completed and mailed to the United States Department of Education processing center between January 1 and no later than the Solano Community College priority filing date of March 2. Students must reapply each year.
After applying, each student will be mailed a Student Aid Report from the United States Department of Education. This should be taken to the Office of Financial Aid where the staff will follow-up with applicants if other documents will be required by the U.S. Department of Education to establish award eligibility. Therefore, students should be prepared to provide copies of federal income tax returns and/or verification of untaxed income received.
