Financial Aid
|
Never too early!
The fall
semester coming to an end, but the new filing period for financial aid is only
beginning! Fill out your 2010-2011 FAFSA as early as January 1, 2010. The FAFSA
is the most important form to see if you will be eligible for
any financial aid. Filling it out early will allow you to see if you are
qualified for the highest amount of money and can ensure that you will receive
your money in a timely manner.
Please
fill out the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov or attend DVC's 7th Annual Cash for College Workshop on
Saturday, February 6, 2010 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in the Cafeteria. Come to the Financial Aid Office if you have any questions. You can
also keep up-to-date with financial aid related information including news,
scholarships, and tips by visiting our blog,
