All students applying for Financial Aid will need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application is available in the Financial Aid Office and many other Student Services offices. There are two ways to apply:

1. Complete the paper FAFSA and mail it in the envelope attached to the application.
Note: If you plan on attending SRJC, enter our Title IV Institution Code 001287 on the FAFSA. This will save time in processing.

Or,

2. complete the FAFSA on the Web , the online application. Please make sure you have completed the paper FAFSA using the required tax and asset information before you begin completing the online version. This will make filing on the Web easier for you.

Don't forget to sign it and have your parent sign it. This can be done electronically with a pin number, or by printing and signing a signature page. If you need parent information on the FAFSA, then both student and parent must sign.

Approximately two to four weeks from the date you mailed your signature page of the FAFSA on the Web, or four to six weeks after you mail in your paper FAFSA, you will receive your Federal Student Aid Report (SAR). Soon after, you will also receive a letter from our office requesting that you complete and submit certain documents in order to complete your file and determine if you are eligible for a financial aid award. In order to ensure timely processing, complete and return these documents to us promptly.
