Application Status
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
If you listed Florida State College’s school code (001484) on your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), the College will receive your information electronically from the U.S. Department of Education. The College will notify you we have received your Student Aid Report (SAR). You may need additional documentation/forms to continue processing your application. This documentation must be submitted to your campus enrollment services/financial aid office. If you do not receive notification within four weeks of receiving your SAR, please contact your campus enrollment services/financial aid office.
Incomplete Application Status
The College will notify you we have received your Student Aid Report (SAR) and need additional documentation/forms required to complete your file. This documentation/forms must be submitted to your campus enrollment services/financial aid office.
Award Summary Status
Award Letter/Award Summary
Once your file has been completed and reviewed, Florida State College will award you with the best available financial aid package. You will receive an official College award letter explaining the financial aid package you are eligible to receive. If you wish to accept the package, you do not need to respond. However, if you wish to refuse or decrease a portion of your aid package, you must initial and return the letter to your campus enrollment services/financial aid office.
Loan Status
Students may apply for a loan by responding to the question on line 31 on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Simply select either a number 2 (for student loans) or 3 (for student loans and work-study) on your FASFA application.
If the FASFA is already completed, and you answered yes to loans, your award package will include loans. Your loan amount will be based on eligibility criteria and may be reduced or cancelled by submitting a loan modification request form online. You may also request a loan, if you did not answer yes on the FAFSA, by completing a loan appeal form. You may view the status of your loan and any other required steps on Connections.
To be eligible for a loan you must have a complete financial aid file at Florida State College at Jacksonville and be accepted into a financial aid eligible program. A complete financial aid file consists of completion of a FASFA form as well as submission of any forms or additional information requested. You can view these requirements in Connections. Federal loans require that you maintain a minimum of half time enrollment each term that you wish to receive a portion of your loan. Half time is at least six credit hours. If you drop, cancel or withdraw from a class that makes you less than six credit hours prior to your loan being disbursed, you will not be eligible for that loan.
Due to recent enacted legislation, there is no need to request a lender. Florida State College at Jacksonville participates in the William D. Ford Direct Loan program. All loans are offered by the federal government.
Students requesting a loan must also complete loan entrance counseling and a master promissory note? You may complete these forms by visiting www.studentloans.gov. Visit Connections “award summary” for complete details of your student loan.
