Help Sessions

The PCC Financial Aid office offers free financial aid help sessions to get you started. We'll walk you through the application process and help you complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) online. The sessions are open to the public.  Please reserve your seat ahead of time and come prepared to fill out your FAFSA.

Don't wait to complete your application!  The priority filing deadline for the 2009-2010 school year is April 4!

When are the Workshops?
Look for "FAFSA Frenzy" sessions on the Financial Aid Workshops calendar for the locations, dates and times of help sessions.

What do I bring?
Have your Social Security number, driver's license, W-2's or pay stubs and 2008 tax return.  You'll save time by downloading the  FAFSA Worksheet ahead of time and completing as much of it as possible.  Please bring this with you to the session.  If you already have a FAFSA PIN, bring that to the session.  We can help you set-up or re-set a PIN if needed.

Have you already applied for or been awarded aid?      Satisfactory Academic Progress Workshops are available for students who have already applied for or have been awarded financial aid.  These sessions will help you ensure that you are managing your academic progress in a way that will help you continue your aid eligibility.
