Now is the time to apply for Financial Aid for the 2009-2010 school year.
Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as FAFSA, is the first step in the financial aid process. The FAFSA can be completed in the Financial Aid Office, or — more conveniently — online through the campus website.
Students can visit the Financial Aid office website at
http://www.cypresscollege.edu/admissions/financialAid to apply for aid now.
The application should be completed by students who plan on being at Cypress College next year and those who will be transferring to any California college or university.
The deadline to apply for financial aid is March 2, 2009 for priority consideration for grants, work-study opportunities or federally guaranteed loans.
New resources, including the
updated 2009-2010 financial aid checklist, have been added to the college’s financial aid web page. These items are made available to help guide students through the application process. The Financial Aid office’s goal is to ensure that students receive the maximum financial aid available.
The Financial Aid office has several computers available for students to use for completing the FAFSA. Friendly staff can also assist as needed.
The Financial Aid office is located on the first floor of the Cypress College Complex and can be reached at (714) 484-7114 for more information.
