Financial Aid & Veterans Services__________What is the Financial Aid Process?


 

Apply for federal student aid as soon after January 1, 2001 as possible. Priority consideration for limited financial aid funds may be given to those completing the application process in full prior to April 15.
  1. The Financial Aid Office will receive information from the Federal Government in an electronic format, and the student will receive a hard copy version.
     
  2. Submit all supplemental forms requested by the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible after it is requested to prevent unnecessary delays. (This may include tax returns, verification documents, etc.).
     
  3. The Financial Aid Office will review all of the submitted documents for accuracy, and will request clarification where needed.
     
  4. The Financial Aid Office will determine a Financial Aid Package which will be comprised of all the different financial aid programs for which the student qualifies, and will send an Award Notification Letter to the student.
  5. If the student wishes to apply for a student loan, the student must submit a Loan Request to the school.
     
  6. Federal regulations require all federal student loan borrowers complete a Loan Information Session before receiving loan funds. You must attend this session if you are a first time loan borrower at EMCC, even if you attended it at another educational institution.
