The Free Application for Federal Student Aid should be submitted at least two months before the date of enrollment to ensure that your financial aid is available to you on the day of enrollment. It is advisable to submit the application as soon as possible after January 1 prior to the academic year in which you are planning to attend. (If your or your family's financial situation has recently changed for the worse because of death, separation or divorce, or loss of job or benefits, you should contact the Financial Aid Office.)

- Did you graduate from high school after January 1, 2005?
- Are you eligible to receive a Pell Grant?
- Will you be enrolled as a full-time first or second year student in a two-year or four-year degree program?
- Process - Around July 1, 2006 students who the US Department of Education thinks may qualify for either program will be notified and asked to go to a web-site to self-determine their eligibility. Financial Aid offices will be notified of the students for self-selecting themselves and then must certify based on a review of high school transcripts. The EWC Financial Aid Office will also identify potentially eligible students along with the United States Department of Education.
