Financial Aid Step By Step
Step 1: Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov. Be sure to check that you are
interested in Federal Work Study to gain eligibility for aid programs that require you at least to consider this form of aid. See
the video tutorial at https://www.finaid.ucsb.edu/fasfasimplification/
Step 2: Complete the College Scholarship Services (CSS) Financial Aid PROFILE at https://cssprofile.collegeboard.org, if
required by the schools to which you are applying.
Step 3: Receive and review your Student Aid Report (SAR) from the U.S. Department of Education, outlining your
Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is the figure that determines financial aid eligibility.
Step 4: Receive and review financial aid award letters from the schools you listed on your FAFSA. All schools strive
to award aid to meet the gap between the cost of attendance and your EFC, but not all have the same types or amounts of
aid available.
Step 5: Accept the financial aid award offered by the school you plan to attend and notify other schools that you decide not
to attend so that they can use their aid dollars for other interested students.
Step 6: Let your school know if you receive outside scholarships and grants. You can search for local scholarships through
employers, government and community organizations, or by using online scholarship databases.
Step 7: Complete any forms required to secure the aid awarded by your school.
