What is the process to apply?

 
Remember: The2010-2011 School/Academic year runs May 2010 to May 2011

Attention all 2010-2011 Financial Aid applicants:

It is important that you file the 2010-2011 FAFSA form as soon as possible. All financial aid applicants should file the FAFSA form before May 1 for priority consideration.

The Financial Aid Office will begin working with live 2010-2011 files by the end of April. Our projection is to generate Tracking Letters, which will request additional information from students and families, and/or Award Notification Letters by mid to end of May.

At this time, we ask for your patience, as we are working to consolidate our databases in readiness for the next academic year.

Step by Step:

  1. File the Federal Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA) on line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Use007560 for the school code. Make note of the date FAFSA was filed.

  2. You should receive your Student Aid Report (SAR) via email approximately 1 week after the date that the FAFSA was filed. If you do not receive your SAR call 1-800-433-3243. This report is for your records only; RVCC will receive a copy electronically.

  3. Does the RVCC Financial Aid office have a copy of the required documents? Have you received a missing document letter from the FA office? If so, please submit the required documents/information as soon as possible. Your file cannot be reviewed without all necessary documentation. Have you received and accepted the ESTIMATED awards by signing and returning the award letter to the RVCC financial aid office? (Usually sent 2 weeks following receipt of all required documents.) Have you received notifications regarding your Master Promissory Note (MPN) from your lender?  To complete a MPN go to: www.dlenote.ed.gov , VSAC or other lender. (The notification will only be sent after you have accepted your awards and your file has been reviewed by the financial aid office). Have you completed your Stafford Entrance Counseling session? If not, go to the Entrance and Exit Counseling page to complete at www.dl.ed.gov/borrower.

  4. (The financial aid process is not complete until you submit the loan application either online or by paper.)
