Applying for Financial Aid
The first step in applying for financial aid is
to complete the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA). This allows you to
apply for federal and state grants and many
institutional scholarships. There is no charge
for filing the FAFSA. Filing online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov is the fastest, most
efficient way to apply for financial aid.
Note: You must complete a FAFSA every
academic year.
Deadline
Your file must be complete by May 15 for the
Fall semester and October 1 for the Spring
semester to be considered a priority application
and have funds available at registration. For a
file to be considered complete, your FAFSA must
be processed by the Department of Education
and the results received by BCC. In addition,
you must submit any documentation requested
by BCC in order to complete your FAFSA
application. If you are selected for verification,
you will be asked to submit documentation
that allows BCC to confirm the data you
submitted on your FAFSA.
Priority applications will be processed prior
to the start of the semester. However, as long
as we receive your FAFSA before the end of the
enrollment period for which you are applying
for aid, we will review your eligibility.
Completing the FAFSA
You should complete the FAFSA using tax
information from the prior calendar year. If you
are dependent, then you must list both your and
your parent’s information. If you are married,
then you must list information for yourself and
your spouse. Sign and date the FAFSA and have
your parent sign if you are dependent.
We encourage you to electronically file and
sign your FAFSA with the Department of
Education at www.fafsa.ed.gov. It is the fastest
and easiest way to file your FAFSA every year
that you are attending BCC. Before filing online,
you (and your parent if you are dependent)
should go to www.pin.ed.gov and apply for
a PIN(s). Having a PIN allows you and your
parents to sign your FAFSA electronically,
thereby completing the entire process online.
If you do not have a PIN, then you must have
a printer available to print out and mail the
FAFSA signature page.
In the school choice section of the FAFSA,
you must tell the federal processor which
schools should receive your information. Enter
