There Are Three Basic Steps to Apply for Financial Aid at Evergreen
Step One: Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)As the first step in determining eligibility, Evergreen must get information about the resources you have to meet your educational objectives. Each year, you must complete a Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) at the FAFSA website. The information you provide there helps us to help you. Please file now for the 2008-09 academic year if you wish to attend. The rule of thumb is file as early as possible to receive the best possible financial aid. You will need to enter our school code number, 008155, to indicate your willingness to make the information you submit available to Evergreen. If you want financial aid for the 2007-08 academic year and have not filed your FAFSA, file now. The academic year at Evergreen begins with the fall quarter and includes the summer term. For example, the 2008-09 Academic Year starts September 29, 2008. It's okay to estimate tax information on the FAFSA. You can update the information later. First, request a FAFSA pin number (your electronic signature) so you will be able to sign your FAFSA online.There is a link from the FAFSA site to request a PIN. If you are a dependent student, both you and your parents will each need a PIN number, too, and you can apply at the same site. If you have e-filed in previous years, use the same PIN(s) as you used before. Every time you file, or even make changes to your FAFSA information, your (and your parent's) signature will be required. Please keep your pin numbers safe and available for when you need them. Then, print a worksheet from the FAFSA site.The FAFSA on the Web Worksheet allows you to read and complete the questions you will be asked before entering your information online. The questions are listed in the same order as they appear on the Web site. Finally, file your FAFSA on the web as soon after January 1, as possible.Evergreen's priority date for receiving complete and valid information back from FAFSA is March 15th. When you are asked, "Which schools do you want this information to be available to," please include Evergreen's Title IV Code: 008155. For more FAFSA information from the federal processor, go to the FAFSA site, or call them at 1-800-4-FEDAID (1-800-433-3243) or 1-319-337-5665. If you are hearing-impaired and have questions, contact the TTY line at 1-800-730-8913. FAFSA Follow-upAfter you file your FAFSA, you will be able to receive further information and advice on the FAFSA site. See FAFSA follow-up information Step Two: Apply for admission if you will be a new student at EvergreenApply online or request a paper application. Admission to Evergreen requires an application process separate from the process you use to determine eligibility for financial aid. While your FAFSA information can be received at any time, we will wait to review your eligiblity for financial aid at Evergreen until you are accepted as a regular degree-seeking student or "conditionally" admitted to the college. "Provisionally Admitted" students and "Special" students are not eligible for financial aid. Please contact the Admissions Office (360-867-6170) for an application packet. Do not wait until you are admitted to apply for financial aid. It is vital that you begin the financial aid application process as soon as possible. Step Three: Submit the completed Financial Aid Data SheetThe Evergreen Financial Aid Data Sheet was developed to answer the questions students have about the process of applying for and receiving financial aid at Evergreen. It also informs you of your responsibilities and of your rights. If you read and understand the information it contains, most hurdles can be avoided. Students must sign and return the Data Sheet to the Financial Aid Office before aid can be disbursed. more information and The Financial Aid Data Sheet What happens next?If you provided our Title IV Code number (008155), we will receive your FAFSA information from the federal processor and after we get these results and all other requested paperwork and you are admitted to Evergreen, your file will be considered complete. Complete files are sent to Financial Aid Counselors for review. They review files in the order in which they are received. The time period for the process of review varies according to the time of year, whether you are applying for the current or a future year, and the counselors' workload. A general rule of thumb is: "Get your paperwork in as soon as possible." During the application review process, you may be requested to submit additional documents such as:
We will notify you in writing if any of this additional information is required. more information about FAFSA forms Finally, after your file is reviewed your Financial Aid Office will determine whether you are eligible to receive financial aid, and you will notified by email. *It is very important that we have your correct postal and email addresses. Addresses can be reviewed or updated on through your my.evergreen.edu account.
