What are the Federal Financial Aid Application Procedures?

Financial records should be made available for financial aid purposes, including:

1. 2018 U.S. Income Tax information
2. W-2 forms and other records of money earned in 2018
3. 2017 business, farms, investments and other asset records (excluding principal residence)

Students will need the above information to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). When completing the application, it is recommended that the income information should not be estimated, however, students should not miss any scholarship deadlines. Verification of the information on the application is likely to be requested at a later date for applications with estimated information. For students classified as dependents, both the student and parent financial records must be made available for financial aid purposes.

Students may complete the 2020-2021 FAFSA or renewal application on the Department of Education's website www.fafsa.gov.

Students and parents may download the myStudentAid app in both the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).

The College's Title IV School Code Number is 010652. Use this code number on the FAFSA application when asked for your school's code.

To apply for financial aid at PHSC, students also must complete the following steps:

Students must submit a new FAFSA each academic year, and are strongly encouraged to apply by the dates listed in the College Catalog and Student Handbook under "When Should a Student Apply?" Financial aid awards are not renewed automatically, students must reapply by submitting a new FAFSA for each academic year
