Financial aid applications are available for completion as of January 1, 2011. As you enjoy time off with friends and family during the holiday break take a few minutes to gather the documents you'll need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the CSS Profile (an additional form required for institutional aid from some private colleges only). The links at the bottom of this post include a list of documents we'll need to help you fill out these forms as accurately as possible. Take a peek, have a conversation with your folks and come see GEAR UP as soon as you return from break to schedule an appointment. If you and or your parent(s) cannot find your tax returns from last year make a call to the people that filed your taxes and request a copy. Institutions with February deadlines know you will be estimating, better to make an educated guess than miss a deadline and thousands of dollars in aid. Fear not, we are here to help you and your families through this process. As long as you bring the documents we'll get you squared away. If you have extenuating circumstances and are unsure of which adult is required to submit information stop by GEAR UP and we'll figure it out. We'll be here to file appeals, help with verification, and interpret your award letters. Enjoy your holidays everyone!Wednesday, December 22, 2010
