How do I have the best financial aid experience?
To keep your classes on your schedule, and to use financial aid at the bookstore, you need to have financial aid awards in place long before classes start. Here are ways to have the best Financial Aid experience:
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
- You have to do this every year.
- The FAFSA is available on October 1st for the following fall semester.
- Log into your eSantaFe student portal.
- eSantaFe has your next steps for successfully enrolling and getting your financial aid in place.
- You may be selected for Verification. This process is required by the Federal government and is intended to verify the information on your FAFSAA.
- Read your notifications in eSantaFe and any other communication from SF.
- Notifications will tell you important information about your financial aid application.
- You should read and respond as quickly to all notifications.
- Take action promptly.
- Turn in all requested transcripts and documents quickly.
- You can submit them through your My FA status page in eSantaFe.
- The longer you wait, the longer it takes for financial aid to be awarded.
- Continue to monitor eSantaFe and read notifications.
- Once your financial aid is awarded it is still important to continue to review your eSantaFe portal. Further action may be needed in the future.
