How to Apply for the WCCCD Financial Aid :
First you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). As we have repeatedly said in this blog, the FAFSA is the key for many grants in United States from both Federal Government and private organizations.
Remember, the sooner you complete the FAFSA the better. Therefore, prepare your tax information (your parent’s tax information too). It would be better to submit the FAFSA early, so if by the end of February your taxes aren’t complete yet, just estimate the number.
Apply for the FAFSA PIN online (the link is available in the bottom of this post). If you are a dependent student, ask your parent to apply for the FAFSA PIN. This PIN acts as the electronic signature.
Go to the FAFSA official site (the link is available in the reference section), and complete all the required information about you, which may include financial information, personal information, and your school plans.
Don’t forget to indicate the Wayne County Community College District using the school code of 009230, and then enter your PIN and submit your application. Keep a copy of that submitted FAFSA application.
After you submit your FAFSA, you will be given Student Aid Report. Check the Expected Family Contribution number in that SAR report. The Expected Family Contribution is the amount of contribution for your education that should be given by your family in the following year.
You can then check the WCCCD webgate to see your current financial aid status
