Your financial aid award cannot be determined until your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has been completed. Before you apply online, create a FSA ID that lets you sign your FAFSA application electronically.
Step 1. Complete an admission/re-admission application to the college. Please include your Social Security Number for financial aid purposes. Choose a program of study that is financial aid eligible (if unsure contact Counseling). Step 2. Go to https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch and request an FSA ID, this username and password lets you sign your FAFSA application electronically. If you are a dependent student, your parent should also request an FSA ID to sign your FAFSA. Step 3. Go to www.fafsa.gov and complete a FAFSA for the upcoming year if you are starting in the fall. The federal school code for Central Virginia Community College is 004988. If you are under 24 years of age, then you may need a parent to help complete the process. Submitting the FAFSA does not mean you have completed the FAFSA. The Financial Aid Office may need additional documents from you in order to finalize your financial aid. If you have difficulties completing the FAFSA, representatives are available toll free at 1-800-433-3243 to help.
Step 4. If the federal government selects you for verification, you will be notified via the Message Center in your SIS account. Check your To-Do List by logging into the Student Information System (SIS). Submit any additional documents needed to the Financial Aid Office. Step 5. Review your financial aid award notificaiton. You will be notified via email and text as well as your myCVCC Message Center when you have been awarded.
Notes: Additional types of financial aid may require additional forms be submitted to the Financial Aid Office. Students who are interested in applying for a Federal Direct Student Loan should also follow instructions and submit a Loan Request Form in the Forms Databank.
