How To Apply For Financial Aid
Applying for financial aid may seem like a daunting task. Don’t let it be an obstacle keeping you from receiving an education. To be considered for federal, need-based financial aid, we require you to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form is available in paper or online. Paper FAFSAs are available at Irene’s Financial Aid Office. If you have Internet access, we encourage you to apply online using FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Applying online normally reduces processing time and help is available.

Before completing the FAFSA online, we encourage you to apply for a PIN, which is your electronic access code. The PIN website is www.pin.ed.gov. The PIN (personal identification number) will act as your signature on the FAFSA. It will also provide you access to other personal information stored in other federal aid sites. Parent(s) of dependent students should also apply for a PIN. You should never share your pin with anyone.

If you have questions when completing your FAFSA, you can get free help by contacting the Federal Student Aid Information Center at (800) 4-FED-AID or by contacting Irene's Financial Aid Office. There is also an online help feature via the FAFSA website. Be sure to include Irene's school code on your FAFSA.

• The school code for Irene's is 035883

After you have submitted your FAFSA to the federal government for processing, you and Irene's Financial Aid Office will both receive a Student Aid Report (SAR). Review the information. Follow any instructions on the SAR. Be sure Irene's school code is on the SAR. You may find that your SAR has been selected for verification. If so, you will be receiving a letter from the Financial Aid Office requesting additional information.

When the Financial Aid Office has received your SAR from the Department of Education and any requested documentation from you, the Financial Aid Office will mail you an award letter. The award letter will notify you of the types and amounts of aid that you may receive.

Remember the Financial Aid Office is here to serve you. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
