This financial aid transcript must be from every post-secondary school attended during the year in which you are applying for aid at UCF, whether or not you received or applied for any financial aid there. You must notify the Office of Student Financial Assistance of any changes in your housing status, household size, or family members in college, from that listed on your aid application. You must reapply yearly for financial aid. You must have a high school diploma or GED certificate. Keep in mind that you cannot receive financial aid from more than one institution for the same payment period .
Helpful Hints Apply early every year.
Start a folder NOW to save financial aid information and photocopies of all documents filed and received. Include your name and social security number on all documents submitted to Student Financial Assistance. Complete all items necessary to apply for both a Federal Pell Grant and a Federal Stafford Loan, even if it doesn't seem advantageous at the time. The law requires that students be considered for a grant before a loan is offered. Choosing a lender now does not obligate the student to process a loan, but will make it easier if additional funds are needed.
