Explore MoreFAFSA Home / FAFSA Apply Now Request Information Meet Your Counselor The College of Idaho strongly encourages all students and families to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA must be filed each year in order to determine a student’s eligibility for any type of federal aid, including loans, grants and work-study; need-based institutional aid; and select other scholarships or awards. To speed up FAFSA processing, our Title IV school code is 001617. Why Should I Fill Out the FAFSA? If you don’t fill out the FAFSA you could be missing out on a lot of financial aid! We’ve heard a number of reasons students think they shouldn’t or don’t need to complete the FAFSA. Here are a few of the most common: I (or my parents) make too much money, so I won’t qualify for aid. Only students with good grades get financial aid. The FAFSA is too hard to fill out. I’m too old to qualify for financial aid. If you think any of these statements apply to you then you should read a few Myths About Financial Aid. The reality is that everyone should fill out the FAFSA every year. Tips for Applying for Federal Loans & Grants Step 1: File Your FAFSA To apply for any type of federal student aid you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free and quick, and it gives you access to the largest source of financial aid to pay for college. Even if you don’t think you qualify for federal aid or don’t plan to apply for it at all, the College still requests you to fill out the FAFSA. We use its information to determine your eligibility for state and school aid, and some private financial aid providers use it in their determination as well. After you complete the FAFSA it will be processed and return an Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The College, the government and private lenders use this figure to determine your eligibility for aid. The EFC is not how much you are expected to pay for college nor is it how much college will cost. Step 2: Accept or Reject Your Awards All students manage their accounts through Self Service. Once your financial aid award package is created you’ll receive a letter or email providing your awards or a link to Self Service to review your awards, as well as any special terms and directions on how to accept, reject or modify the awarded amount. Some federal loans are automatically listed in your award, but you do not have to accept them. The fewer loans you need to pay for college the better, so use loans wisely. If you accept a student loan as part of your award package and then change your mind, you can cancel all or part of your loan within 14 days after your student account is credited with your loan funds. Step 3: Sign a Master Promissory Note If you choose to accept federal student loans you will need to complete and sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN). The MPN is a legal document where the borrower, usually you or your parent, signs a contract to repay the loan in full and on time. Private loans will have a similar promissory note, but the MPN is for all federal loans and only needs to be signed once for up to ten years of loans. You don’t need a new MPN each year if you receive additional federal loan funds. The Master Promissory Note is available on the Federal Student Loans website. You’ll need your FSA ID to login and sign the note. Once completed, you should download or print a copy of the note for your records. You do not need to submit the note to the College because we’ll be electronically notified that it’s done. LINKS Cost of Attendance Loan & Grants Scholarship Work-Study FAFSA HAVE QUESTIONS?

(PDF) Receiving Financial Aid Disbursements Most of the awards that appear on the Financial Aid Award Notification are automatically applied to student accounts upon acceptance in Self Service. Certain types of financial aid are applied at different times after the money is received or earned. Outside scholarships are applied when the scholarship check is received by us. Students should notify the Office of Student Financial Aid Services if they expect to receive outside scholarships. While the scholarship won’t be applied until the money is received, Financial Aid staff members will know to watch for its arrival. Federal, state, and College work-study earnings are paid directly to students by check as they earn the money. Work-study funds are not deposited to student accounts, so the student must make their own payments if they want to apply those funds towards tuition and fees. Remember, these are potential earnings and are not guaranteed. Federal PLUS Loans are applied directly to student accounts if the lender participates in Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). If not, the funds will be applied to accounts after the check is endorsed and returned to the College by the borrowing parent. Tentative

The FAFSA must be filed each year in order to determine a student’s eligibility for any type of federal aid, including loans, grants and work-study; need-based institutional aid; and select other scholarships or awards. While each type of award has its own specific requirements to apply, receive, and maintain funding, there are certain criteria the apply to most types of aid. For example, receiving funding from any federal loan or grant program under Title IV is contingent upon: Authorization and appropriation of funds for each program by the federal government under existing regulations. Receipt of anticipated funding levels in each program by the College. A student’s full- or part-time enrollment in a degree program at the College. Meeting and maintaining any award-specific eligibility requirements. Why Should I Fill Out the FAFSA If you don’t fill out the FAFSA, you could be missing out on a lot of financial aid!

(PDF) Federal Loans & Grants The College of Idaho participates in the U.S. Government’s Title IV loan programs and is proud to help connect students with these federal loans. Federal loans can offer lower interest rates, flexible repayment options, and loan forgiveness. Not every benefit applies to every student, but federal loans offer some of the broadest options in the simplest packages. Federal Direct Loan Program The College offers direct loans (sometimes referred to as Stafford Loans) under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. In the Direct Loan Program, the U.S. Department of Education is your lender. You must be an admitted student and enrolled as a regular student in an eligible degree or certificate program to participate in the Federal Direct Loan Program. You must file a FAFSA before being eligible for any federal loans or grants. For more information, you can read up on how to apply for grants and loans. Unsubsidized Loans The Direct Unsubsidized Loan is for all students and does not require you to demonstrate financial need. You pay all interest on your loans as soon as they are disbursed. You can choose to defer interest payments until after graduation, after a six-month grace period, or during select periods of deferment or forbearance. Your interest still accrues, though, and is compounded into your loan balance. To keep payments in check and ensure strong credit history we highly recommend making what interest and principal payments you can during your time in college. If you can’t make payments during school that’s okay, but you’ll need to plan ahead and start making them as soon as possible after graduation. You can find complete details about unsubsidized loans, including interest rates, maximum loan amounts, fee amounts, and repayment information on the Federal Student Aid website. PLUS Loans The Direct PLUS Loan is for eligible graduate or professional students who need to borrow more than the maximum unsubsidized loan amounts to meet their education costs. This differs from subsidized and unsubsidized loans, which have different maximum loan amounts independent of the cost of attendance. PLUS loans require payment as soon as the loan is fully disbursed. Under certain circumstances, payments can be deferred, but interest will still accrue on the loan during any period of non-payment. You can find complete details about PLUS loans, including interest rates, maximum loan amounts, fee amounts, and repayment information on the Federal Student Aid website.
