Apply for Aid

Applying for Aid

Take the PIN number you received from the government when you applied for aid last year. Use that PIN number to apply on the web (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov).
If you have not received a PIN, go to the PIN web site to obtain one (http://www.pin.ed.gov). Do that right away! If you have to provide parental information on your application, your parents will also need a PIN number. Get one for them right now.

Other information:

If you need to provide other information for your need-based aid application, you will be notified in writing. Be sure your mailing address is correct. It can be updated on BroncoWeb. If you do not respond to the request for other/additional information, processing of your financial aid application will stop. As soon as you respond, we can continue processing your aid application and you strengthen your chances of receiving the best financial aid awards. You must provide the needed information before you begin attendance or while you are attending classes during 2008-09; documents received after the end of your enrollment period may be received too late award aid.
If you need to make changes to your FAFSA information, use your PIN number to go to the FAFSA web site to make those changes.
