How can I be considered for financial aid?

1. Apply for admission to Greenville College. You must be admitted into the college before you can be awarded financial aid.
2. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1st.
   
   • Pick up a FAFSA from your high school guidance counselor or Greenville College.
   • Be sure to use your previous year (2006) tax forms to complete the FAFSA.
   • List Greenville College as a potential school on your FAFSA. Greenville College's school code is 001684. If you did not list Greenville, submit a copy of your Federal Student Aid Report to the Financial Aid Office.
3. Be sure to keep photocopies of everything. Also record mailing dates of all applications, correspondence and deposits.
4. Respond promptly to any request made for additional information or documentation.
5. Investigate other options for financial help. Many local companies and organizations offer scholarships to students from the community or children of employees.
