The scheduled workshops are intended to teach students how to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) 2009-10 school years.
To be considered for a Cal Grant (California State Funded), new applicants must complete a Grade Point Average (GPA) Verification and mail it to California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) before or by MARCH 2 of the award year. CCSF students are encouraged to check with CCSF Admissions & Records Office or CCSF Financial Aid Office for current procedures.
Pre-FAFSA Preparation
Remember - all financial paperwork needs to be for the previous financial year. If you're planning to file for the 2009-2010 FAFSA, you'll need documentation from tax year 2008 (January 1, 2008 - December 31, 2008).
Tip: If you don't have your W-2 tax forms from 2008, you can estimate using your pay stubs and file a FAFSA correction later.
- Your Social Security Number (can be found on the Social Security card)
- Your driver's license or state ID (if any)
- Your W-2 Forms and other records of money earned
- Your (and your spouse's, if you're married) 2008 Federal Income Tax Return - IRS Form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040TeleFile, foreign tax return, or tax return for Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Marshall Islands, or the Federated States of Micronesia
- Your parents' Federal Income Tax Return (if you are a dependent student)
- Your untaxed income records - Social Security, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, welfare, or veterans benefits records
- Your current bank statements
- Your current business and investment mortgage information, business and farm records, stock, bond, and other investment records
- Your alien registration or permanent residence card (if you are not a U.S. citizen)
Students should bring the following records to the workshop:
While it's not required, completing your IRS federal tax return, even if it hasn't been filed, is going to save you a LOT of time completing the FAFSA form. Before you proceed, we strongly encourage you to complete your 1040 tax return, as a number of items on the FAFSA refer to specific lines on your IRS tax return.
Tip: File your FAFSA as early as possible! Some federal financial aid is allotted on a first come, first served basis, which means that if a student with greater need applies later in the year than a student with lesser need, the student with lesser need will get more financial aid because they were in line sooner. File your FAFSA as soon after January 1 of each year as possible to ensure you get the most aid you’re eligible for.
