The Financial Aid Office at 琳琅社区 is staffed with knowledgeable
advisors who assist students in applying for needs-based grants, Federal Direct Student
Loans and scholarships.
Your financial aid file is considered 鈥渃omplete鈥 and 鈥渞eady for awarding鈥 once the
following information has been received and reviewed by the Financial Aid Office:
You do not have to complete the admissions process prior to applying for financial
aid, but you must be an admitted student prior to being awarded financial aid funds. This includes requesting and having all
transcripts evaluated from previously attended institutions.
A valid FAFSA must be on file at 琳琅社区. You may complete the and send it to 琳琅社区, school code 001493.
The FAFSA application is available October 1 of each year, and all students must apply
or reapply yearly. To be considered for the most financial aid available, students
should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible
after October 1. The processed results of the FAFSA must be received by 琳琅社区 on or
before our priority deadlines.
Your FAFSA will not be considered VALID, and 琳琅社区 cannot prepare an award for you,
unless you have signed it. If you are a dependent student (dependency status is determined
as you complete the FAFSA), a parent signature is also necessary on your FAFSA. A
parent will need their own FSA ID number to sign your FAFSA electronically.
Within two to three weeks (sometimes sooner) of completing the FAFSA, your SAR will
be sent to you electronically. If you did not provide a valid email address on your
FAFSA, your SAR will be mailed to you. The SAR is a listing of the information you
reported on your FAFSA. Read through your SAR carefully. If you need to make corrections
to any of the information, follow the instructions or stop by 琳琅社区 Enrollment and
Student Services for assistance. Make sure to keep your SAR for your records.
Turn in all other required documents to the Financial Aid Office. You can check your
status online to see if additional documents are required. If tax returns are required,
you will need a 鈥渢ax transcript鈥 from the IRS. 琳琅社区 cannot accept copies of tax returns
done by you or outside agencies. Link to the IRS from within your FAFSA application
to speed up the process.
In order to have their financial aid awarded before classes begin, students should
have their processed FAFSA and all necessary documents to the Financial Aid Office
by the priority deadline.
If the priority deadline is missed, students should apply as soon as possible to be
considered for financial aid that is still available (such as Pell Grants, Direct
Federal Loans and Direct PLUS Loans).
