Ready to apply for financial aid? The instructions below will walk you through the process of applying and checking on the status of your aid. If you have questions, our Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs team is ready to assist you.
How to Apply For Aid
The first and most important step to apply for most types of aid is filling out your Free Application forFederal Student Aid (FAFSA). Before beginning please note, you will need to include your:
Tax information
W2s
Driver's License or State ID number
Social Security Number
Let's get started!
Visit theFAFSA page onlineand click "Start Here" to create your FSA ID and begin the application process (If your classification is as a dependent, your parent or guardian will need to apply for an FSA ID as well)
Choose the school year when you'll be attending college and begin filling out your FAFSA.
Use RCC's Federal School number—005447
Complete the application, submit it, and document your confirmation number for reference.
Please note, we cannot receive your FAFSA information until this step is complete.
After admission, you may also need to take aplacement assessment, depending on the program you're taking.
Review Your Student Aid Report
Once your FAFSA is processed, you will receive an email with a link to your Student Aid Report (SAR). (If you didn't provide an email address, you'll receive your SAR by mail.) This report will include information on your application and any next steps you need to take.
Once RCC receives your FAFSA information, we will contact you by letter and email to inform you of any further actions needed.
You must file a FAFSA every academic year to continue receiving financial aid.
