Solving the
Financial
Aid
P U ZZLE
Many DCC students qualify for financial aid. To be considered,
you should follow these 4 steps!
1.
Complete a FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL
STUDENT AID (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Students are encouraged to apply online to receive faster
results. Students are also recommended to use the IRS Data
Retrieval Tool to complete the FAFSA. It is the easiest, most
accurate way to provide your tax data. For assistance, students
may contact the Southern Piedmont Educational Opportunity
Center (EOC) at 434.797.8577 or DCC Financial Aid Office at
434.797.8567 for an individual or workshop appointment time.
DCC’s federal school code is 003758.
2.
Receive the Student Aid Report and check
information for accuracy. Please note it is not necessary
to send the Student Aid Report to DCC. Afterwards, DCC
will receive the application results electronically from the
Department of Education.
3.
Respond to any verification or document
request from the college. If the Data Retrieval Tool was
not used to complete your FAFSA, you will need to request a
free tax return transcript from the IRS. Go to www.irs.gov or call
1-800-908-9946.
4.
Final decisions will not be determined until all
information has been received and verified by the
Financial Aid Office. Failure to turn in requested information
will delay the process.
5.
Remember to apply early!!!
