All students in need
of help paying for
college should apply by
completing the federal
Free Application for
Financial Student Aid
(FAFSA) application, the
Shoreline Financial Aid
Data Sheet and all other
required items.
Generally, the amount of
financial aid
eligibility is the
difference between the
cost of attending
college and what the
student and/or the
student's family are
expected to contribute.
The expected family
contribution (EFC) is
calculated according to
a federal formula, using
the information on the
completed Free
Application for
Financial Student Aid
(FAFSA) application.
The FAFSA is
completed on the
internet, the Shoreline
CC data sheet is a paper
form submitted to the
office, and additional
documents might be
required. Loan processes
are separate and require
additional steps.
Students are encouraged
to not delay their
application. It is a
good idea to complete
the entire application
process three months
before you wish to start
school. Students may
seek assistance from the
Financial Aid office.
Check the
Calendar to
determine the start of
the next quarter and for
quarterly deadlines.

2009-2010 academic year
(Summer 2009 through
Spring 2010) begin with
the 2009-2010 FAFSA

www.fafsa.ed.gov).

Students must have
been awarded financial
aid by SCC before it is
available to pay tuition
and fees or to calculate
a check. Students will
be mailed a Financial
Aid Notification letter
when financial aid

progress must be
maintained to be
eligible for financial
aid. Students must meet
