When should I apply for financial aid?
Mail the paper Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the federal processor or complete the FAFSA online as soon after January 1 as possible. Evergreen's school code for financial aid processing is 008155. The priority financial aid deadline for receiving complete and valid information from the federal processor is March 15. The online FAFSA is recommended to ensure quick and accurate processing. This mid-March deadline is important for all new students regardless of the quarter that you enter Evergreen. For example: if you are admitted to fall quarter 2010, you will want to make sure that the Office of Financial Aid has your FAFSA results by March 15, 2010. Likewise, if you are admitted to winter quarter 2011, you will want to make sure that your FAFSA results are received by March 15, 2010. And if you are admitted to spring quarter 2011, your FAFSA results are needed by March 15, 2010.
