FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION TIMELINE

• Students apply for financial aid each year by completing a FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov
• The FAFSA can be completed after October 1st, 9-10 months prior to the start of the next school year. Your eligibility is calculated using your and your parents FAFSA information.
• The first distribution of financial aid occurs on the 9th day of each term. To receive aid in the first distribution, a student’s FAFSA and financial aid file must be finalized by the 5th day of the term. Subsequent financial aid disbursements occur each Thursday during the term. 
• Deadline: A student’s FAFSA and financial aid file must be completed two weeks before the end of the term

eSERVICES

All FDLTCC students have an electronic information account, called “eServices”, as well as an FDLTCC email account

You can review financial aid, register for classes, check grades, check your bill, and more on your eServices account.

Once your FAFSA is received we will email you and post financial aid status and “next-steps” on your eServices account.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
