□     Apply for Admission to CNCC –

□     Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

1. If you do not already have your personal identification number (PIN) apply for your PIN at www.pin.ed.gov to be able to sign your FAFSA electronically.  If you are a dependent student your parent must also apply for a PIN. 
   
2. Submit the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.  
   
3. Federal School Code for CNCC is 001359

FAFSA Tips:  If possible, complete required tax forms before completing the FAFSA; read all instructions; complete the FAFSA worksheet.

1. Within 1 week of submitting your FAFSA you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) in your email.  Review the information for accuracy.
   
2. If your SAR states that you have been selected for “federal verification”, the Financial Aid office will notify you of what documents are needed.  In most cases copies of your tax filings for the previous tax year will be needed as well as a completed copy of the Federal Verification Worksheet (this will be provided by the Financial Aid office). 

□     CNCC Scholarship Application (Including essay and high school transcript).

□    Complete the Verification Process

1. Either the Department of Education or the school may select your application for VERIFICATION. This process is used to prove the accuracy of information reported on the FAFSA. The SAR will indicate if you have been selected for verification. You can obtain verification paperwork by going to our applications and forms page, or we can mail the required forms to you.  A specific list of the documents needed to complete the process will be mailed to you. Carefully answer all of the questions on the worksheet(s). The completed form(s) and all related documents, including signed tax forms, must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible. Information not received within three weeks will render your file inactive.

□     Await notification from the Financial Aid office.

1. The FAFSA processor will send us your information electronically.  We will review your FAFSA data, and if necessary, request additional documentation to verify your information. 
2. Once we have received and evaluated all documentation, we will notify you of your financial aid award by sending you an award letter.  This will include information on how to apply for student loans if you have indicated through your FAFSA that you are interested in them.

□   Although not financial aid, all Colorado Residents should be sure that they have registered with the College Opportunity Fund to use their tuition assistance stipend.
