Attention DMACC Financial Aid Applicants for Award Year 2008-2009
Posted 1/4/08

It is time to file for financial aid for the academic terms Fall 2008, Spring 2009 and Summer 2009.  Thousands of  students applied for financial aid at DMACC last academic term! To help you complete the financial aid process in a timely and efficient manner complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov If you do not have a Personal Identification Number (PIN), you may apply for one at www.pin.ed.gov. If you are a dependent student, your parents should apply for a PIN so that they can electronically sign your FAFSA. All campus locations should list DMACC Title IV School Code as 004589.  When you file on-line be sure to list DMACC Title IV school code, 004589.

Paper FAFSAs
The quickest way to apply is online using FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov or go to www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov and download a PDF version of the FAFSA. In addition, you may call 1-800-4-FED-AID and request a paper application.

Renewal 2008-2009 FAFSA Applicants
Financial aid applicants (2007-2008 filers prior to January 11, 2008) who provided a valid e-mail or mailing address to the U.S. Department of Education will receive a renewal FAFSA reminder between January 16 and February 11, 2008 for the 2008-2009 filing years.  However, if you did not receive a notification, please follow the instructions in this letter when filing your 2008-2009 FAFSA.

You may access www.studentaid.ed.gov for on-line resources that cover the full range of financial aid topics—from preparing for a college education all the way through repaying student loans.

Priority Deadline
DMACC will process financial aid applications continuously throughout the year. To ensure that you receive a priority package, and that all of your aid is available to credit to your account the beginning of Fall term 2008, you should apply no later than April 1st.  Note: If you cannot complete your application prior to the April 1st priority deadline, DMACC’s District Financial Aid Office will still process your application for financial aid and consider you for all available funding.

Prevent Financial Aid Delays
Oftentimes, we will need to request follow-up documentation from you and the collection of that documentation may prolong the processing of your application.  So do not delay in sending us all requested information as soon as possible.  The Financial Aid Office staff welcomes your inquiries on all aspects of your aid application.  You may visit our web site at www.dmacc.edu/financial.asp  or call 1-800-362-2127.
