Applying for Financial Aid
All Financial Aid Recipients:
- Must be admitted to North Central State College and enrolled in a degree-granting program
- Must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
- Must be registered with Selective Service if 18-25 years of age (males only)
- Must be making satisfactory academic progress towards a degree
Eligibility for most types of financial aid is based on a student's demonstrated need. Even students with no need, however, can receive student loans. The extent of student need is determined through an analysis of the income and assets of the student's family. Most students can qualify for enough aid to pay for all of their tuition expenses. A number of students can receive aid to pay for books and gasoline expenses in addition to tuition.
The Application Process
When this general process is complete, your eligibility for a Federal Pell Grant will be determined.
Step 1
Fill out a FAFSA or Renewal Application. You may fill out a FAFSA application online with help available at 1-800-4FED-AID. If you need additional help or information contact the Financial Aid Office at 419-755-4899.
Step 3
Submit your High School/GED documentation. All federal aid applicants must prove that they are high school graduates or GED recipients. A copy of your final high school transcript, or GED certificate can be used. Submit documentation to the Financial Aid Office.
Processing Time
About one month is required to process the FAFSA. The federal student aid processor will mail you a Student Aid Report (SAR) explaining your eligibility when processing is complete.
Verification
The federal processor selects many financial aid applicants for verification. This is a procedure through which the College is required to check the accuracy of some of the items on your FAFSA. If you are selected, you will need to submit to the College certain financial documents including, but not limited to, a copy of your previous year federal income tax return (Form 1040). The Financial Aid Office will instruct you on exactly what is needed.
Special Circumstances
If your family income drops significantly from what was reported on the FAFSA or if your family incurs large and unusual expenses, contact the Financial Aid Office. It may be possible to have your eligibility for financial aid re-evaluated and based upon your current financial situation.
Award Letter
After the financial aid process in complete, an award letter will be mailed out showing an estimated amount of aid you will receive each quarter if you attend full-time. The actual amount of your aid will be established after you have registered for and attended class.
If your aid award does not entirely pay for tuition and expenses, you may decide to apply for a student loan, Federal Work Study or NC State Scholarships. Processing a student loan takes an additional month after the FAFSA is processed.
