Financial Aid FAFSA Workshops
The Ohlone College Financial Aid Office is conducting new and renewal workshops to help students complete their 2008-2009 FAFSA online. Students do not need to sign up, but may simply attend a workshop that best fits into their schedule.
PIN Number
Before attending a workshop, it’s best to apply for a PIN number. The PIN is used an electronic signature. Go to http://www.pin.ed.gov/ to apply. If you have previously applied for financial aid, you already have a PIN. If you do not know your PIN, you can also go to http://www.pin.ed.gov/ and 2-5 days. If you are under 24 years old and a dependent student, one of your parents will also need a PIN.
Documents Needed
To complete your FAFSA, new or renewal, you will need income information from the previous year. For the 2008-2009 school year, you will need income information from 2006. Following are the documents you will need to complete the FAFSA:
- Social Security Number
- Driver’s license (if any)
- Alien Registration card (for students who are not a U.S. citizen)
- 2007 W-2 forms and other records of money earned in 2007
- The student's (and spouse’s if married) 2006 Federal Income Tax Return – IRS form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040 Telefile, 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
- The parents’ 2007 Federal Income Tax Return with all W-2s (for dependent students)
- Current bank statements
- Current business and investment mortgage information, business and farm records, stock, bond, and other investment records.
Students may conveniently obtain a Pre-Application Worksheet from the rack outside the Financial Aid Office to complete prior to submitting the FAFSA online.
If you have not applied for financial aid for this semester, it’s not too late. You can attend a FAFSA workshop, bring your 2007 income information and associated documentation, and fill out your 2008-2009 application.
Don’t re-apply, RENEW your FAFSA.
Students who have previously filed a FAFSA will have all the previous information will be pre-filled. All students will need to do is correct any information that has changed and add in the 2007 income information.
