Steps
for Returning Students
-
Students
must reapply for federal aid electronically. If you have not applied
for a FSA ID, you can do so at https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm. If you are a dependent
student, your parent will also need to apply for a FSA ID to sign your
FAFSA electronically.
-
APPLY
for financial aid at www.studentaid.gov. You will need to do this as soon
as possible after October 1 of EACH
YEAR in which you
wish to receive aid. Include our federal school code of 005378.
The result of the FAFSA tells us how much and the types of federal
aid for which you are eligible. Northeast State will receive the
results from the federal processor in approximately one week.
-
Submit
all requested information to the Financial Aid Office. The Federal
Government will select a percentage of all aid applicants for a
process called verification.
You will be notified by mail of what is needed. You will have to
submit your family’s income tax transcripts, documentation of
untaxed income, a Verification Worksheet, etc., as soon as possible
to your Financial Aid Office. Funds may or may not be available at
the start of school for those applicants turning documents in after
July 1.
-
All
corrections should be submitted through the Financial Aid Office.
The Financial Aid Office will transmit them for you electronically.
Corrections will generate a new Student Aid Report from the Federal
Processor.
-
If
eligible for aid, your award letter will be mailed to you after you
have submitted all required forms and processing has been completed.
Your award is automatically accepted and your account will be
credited up to your level of award(s). If you will not attend
Northeast State Community College, please sign and return your award
letter to the Financial Aid Office rejecting the aid.
-
Awards
are based on the number of hours enrolled as of the census date
(14th day
of term), and Federal Pell, SEOG, TSAA, TN Promise, and Tennessee Lottery
Scholarships will not be adjusted for the addition of hours after
the census date.
Call the Financial
Aid Office at 423.323.0252 for more information.
