Steps to Apply for Financial Aid

Step 1

Meet with the school’s Financial Services Team to learn about the Financial options available at the school including important information about applying for Federal Student Aid, which includes grants and loans.

Step 2

Complete and Submit the Free Application for Federal Aid (FAFSA)

FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form completed by current and prospective college students to determine their eligibility for student financial aid.

  • You will need an FSA ID https://studentaid.gov or If you have applied for aid in past years, you can reuse your FSA ID.
  • Establish your Dependency status. You’ll answer questions about your personal circumstances to determine whether you’re a dependent or independent student on the FAFSA. If you’re considered a dependent student, both the student and the established contributor must each apply for an FSA ID, using separate email addresses and complete their section of the FAFSA.

I enjoyed all my teachers. They made it interesting and challenging. I enjoyed going back to school at the age of 48! Career Services was a big help to me. Danielle was great. She helped me with my resume and showed me how to apply. I got the job with Dietz and Watson! Pennco Tech was the right choice for me as I get ready to start my career.
