Scholarship and Financial Aid

Financial Aid FAFSA Assistance

This is a reminder that the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now open. The website is: https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa

Remember a student will not be able to receive any type of aid without completing the FAFSA including loans, grants and scholarships.

A parent and the student will also need to create an FSA ID. This is how you sign your FAFSA. If the parent already has an FSA ID they will not create another one. Both the parent and student will keep the same FSA ID and use it for the FAFSA in the future. Parents and students cannot share the same email address when creating the FSA ID. https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/sign-in/landing

For more information please visit: https://studentaid.gov/

Remember the first F in FAFSA is Free, so you don't have to pay to complete the FAFSA.

Members of the Garrett College Financial Aid Team can be reached daily from 8:30 a.m. -4:30 p.m. and are also available both evenings and weekends by appointment. Schedule appointments online at https://www.garrettcollege.edu/financial-aid.php or call 301.387.308
