• Apply for financial aid every year. Financial aid programs change. Changes in your situation affect your eligibility.
• Meet the deadlines. The deadline to fill out your 2009-10 FAFSA is June 30, 2010. But if you are planning to attend classes on Fall 2009 and/or Spring 209 be sure you submit the FAFSA on time because you will need the award (or part of the award) to cover your tuition. Remember, the FAFSA response will take approximately 14 days if you apply over the Internet at www.fafsa.ed.gov (4-6 weeks if you mail your application).
• Don't pay for financial aid information that you can get for free - see one of our bilingual counselors at the Office of Financial Aid, or visit the World Wide Web at www.hesc.com or www.MappingYourFuture.org.
• Attend financial aid workshops. Our financial aid workshops will provide you valuable information and assistance in filling out the forms and in learning about aid programs. To check our next workshop/orientation date, please call the Admissions' Office at (718) 319-7900.
