Inc. Some colleges require a departmental test e.g., an Art Aptitude Test for the field of Commercial Art. If these tests are required, take them early in order to assure that your scores reach the college admission officer before the deadline date. The third section indicates which financial aids are available to you at each college. Generally, each institution has its own application form for requesting financial aid. This form must be obtained from the Financial Aid Officer at the college you wish to attend.
Some forms are long and involved.
You should allow enough time to gather the information requested on the form, complete the form, and return it well in advance of the deadline date. Please note whether the institution requires application forms other than its own application for financial aid. The SAR will also tell you if you are eligible for a Federal Pell Grant. Some institutions also require a copy of your parents' and your income tax return. Take careful note of what is required and get it in early.
