Applying for Federal Financial Aid

1. Apply for your PIN. This PIN allows you (and a parent, if applicable) to e-sign (electronically sign) the FAFSA and other important applications.
   
   Note: If you are a dependent student (or must report a parent's tax information on the FAFSA),your parent must apply for a separate PIN. Both you and your parent will need to e-sign the FAFSA.
   
2. Once your PIN has been confirmed, complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
3. Once you arrive at the FAFSA website, you will have to choose which FAFSA you want to complete. Please use the following instructions to help you decide which FAFSA you should do.

The 2009-10 Award Year includes Fall 2009, Spring 2010 and Summer 2010.

If you are planning to attend Gateway during this time, complete the 2009-10 FAFSA.

1. The FAFSA will ask you to provide federal school codes for the schools you want your FAFSA information sent to. GCTC's Federal School Code is: 013753. 

It generally takes 3-5 business days for us to receive your FAFSA information from the Department of Education; we will contact you by email/phone with further instructions or if any further documentation is needed.
