Financial Aid Deadlines Established!! In an effort to serve our students expeditiously, the FAO has established submission deadlines for each term. The annual financial aid deadlines for each term are: Fall Semester - March 1, Spring Semester - October 1, and Summer Semester - March 1. Your financial aid file must be complete by the financial aid application deadline in order for your file to be processed prior to the published fee payment deadline. The financial aid application deadline means that all required documents must be submitted by the published deadline and not that you’ve filed your FAFSA.

Tips for applying for aid for 2009-2010
As we gear up for the Fall Semester, here are a few tips to help your financial aid application process go smoothly:

  1. Fill out the FAFSA as soon as you file your taxes.
  2. Read your Student Aid Report after you have filed your FAFSA. It will tell you if you have been selected for verification or if there are any problems regarding your FAFSA. If you are selected for verification, there are certain documents you will need to submit to our office. Some of these include signed copies of your federal tax returns (spouse's return, if married and parents' return if a dependent student) and a verification worksheet. If your SAR tells you that you have a c-flag, you should submit documentation to our office to resolve this. If no EFC appears on your SAR, your FAFSA was not processed. Make sure all questions are answered and all required signatures are completed.
  3. HOPE Scholarships are not processed automatically. If you wish to apply for HOPE and will not be filing a FAFSA, you can apply online at www.gacollege411.org. You should contact our office after you have applied. If you filed a FAFSA, simply tell one of our staff members that you need to be reviewed for HOPE.
  4. If you answered "Student Loans" or "Both Work Study & Student Loans" for question number 31 on your FAFSA, you will automatically be awarded a Stafford Loan that can be accepted via ELROY. If you are a new student/ borrower at Augusta State, you should complete a Loan Request Form and submit it to our office.
  5. Check the status of your account and documents on Elroy. If you have questions, follow up with our office.

We will accept other photo identification for new students who are in the process of applying to ASU and have not received their JagCards.

Telephone Customer Service Confidentiality Policy
Only general information (i.e., forms required to complete your financial aid file, whether your file is complete or not) will be released via the telephone. Information concerning a student's file will not be released to a parent, spouse or any other relative with out the express or written consent of the student. The student; however, may obtain specific information regarding their financial file by visiting ELROY at ww-w.aug.edu/elroy/.
