Financial Aid Application Procedures

All continuing students or prospective students applying for financial aid from the College must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the U. S. Department of Education’s Central Processor listing Miles College to receive a copy. The FAFSA may be obtained from the student’s high school counselor or by requesting a copy from the Financial Aid Office at the address specified in this section. The College recommends that you file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid electronically at the following website: www.FAFSA. ed.gov; in addition both the student applicant and at least one parent should apply for a pin ( personal identification number). The PIN serves as an electronic signature eliminating the necessity for printing the signature page and sending that page to the Processing Center. A PIN has many advantages for the student in referencing data from the various Federal web sites. One advantage is that it can greatly reduce the time required to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
All students who are legal residents of the State of Alabama must apply for the Alabama Student Grant. Applications for this Grant may be obtained from the Miles College Financial Aid Office
For priority consideration, the results from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid must be received in the Financial Aid Office at Miles College on or before April 15 for the Fall Semester and November 15 for the spring semester. Summer School aid applications should be received by April 15. The FAFSA should be filed approximately eight weeks prior to the above deadlines to ensure that a report reaches the Financial Aid Office by the above date. Applications received after the above date will be acted upon to the extent that funds are available at the time the completed application is received.
Students must re-submit financial aid applications each school year in order to be considered for financial aid.
