Request your high school transcript be sent to Gulf Coast if you are applying for a scholarship. File a new financial aid application each year you need financial aid. Eligibility Eligibility for most financial aid is based on financial need. Students are expected to contribute to their own educational expenses and should not expect financial aid to provide for all living expenses.
Financial aid is to be used only for education-related costs.
Individuals who are truly in need of assistance will be eligible. Standards of Progress Students who are eligible for financial aid must have declared college majors and educational goals and maintain satisfactory academic progress to receive assistance. It's very important to be accurate when completing applications, especially the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This form takes four to six weeks to process. If there are corrections to be made, the form must be sent back to the federal processor, which delays your Student Aid Report at least two more weeks.
