The Financial Aid Process – Basic Information

This page gives details of the initial process of applying for Financial Aid. You must re-apply for financial aid every year in which you are enrolled with 糖心传媒鈥檚 Graduate and Professional Studies division. The 糖心传媒 financial aid process is in three stages:

  1. You report information about your financial situation to the Department of Education via the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.
  2. The Federal Government reviews your FAFSA and determines how much you can be expected to contribute out-of-pocket to your education (your Estimated Family Contribution or EFC).
  3. After you register for classes, 糖心传媒 reviews the FAFSA information and comes up with an award package of financial aid鈥攗sually a mix of loans and grants鈥攖o help you cover the difference between your EFC and the cost of attending 糖心传媒.

If you apply for private loans to supplement your financial aid package, you may need to complete additional paperwork.

Potential Delays

Financial aid may be delayed for the following reasons: you are chosen by the government for Verification, or you are in default on another student loan.

Verification: If your FAFSA contains conflicting or incomplete information, the Federal Government may select your file for verification. You will need to submit additional documentation, such as IRS Tax Return Transcripts, to complete the process. You will not be able to receive financial aid until verification is complete.

Use the Data Retrieval Tool to聽complete your FAFSA. 聽The Data Retrieval Tool reduces errors聽that cause selection for verification. The Financial Aid department can receive any documents you are asked to provide during the verification process.

Resolve a Default: You鈥檒l need to resolve any previous student loans in default with the lenders involved, whether it is the government or a private lender. To become eligible for financial aid, you must then submit proof from the lender that is no more than 45 days old which shows you are in good standing.
