To be considered for financial aid, including
grants
loans
work-study
scholarships
a student must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the academic year that assistance is needed. The FAFSA will determine if the student is eligible for any federal, state, or institutional aid. FAFSA's must be submitted online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Be sure to include A-B Tech's Federal School Code number 004033 on the FAFSA.
Once the student submits the FAFSA form to the federal processing center, the student will receive by mail or email a notification called a Student Aid Report (SAR). Students should review the information contained in the SAR for accuracy.
The Financial Aid Office will use the data from the SAR to determine the student's eligibility for financial assistance. For 2009-10 students will be sent an award notification via the student's A-B Tech email account letting them know that their award letter is ready to be viewed in Web Advisor. Award notifications will be emailed out on June 15, 2009.
The application process takes approximately eight to twelve weeks to complete from the time the student submits the FAFSA to the federal processing center to the time the Award Notification is emailed to the student's A-B Tech email account. During peak times, this process can take longer.
