The term "financial
aid" refers to any form of monetary assistance meant to aid a
student toward meeting the costs of higher education. Financial aid
can come in the form of grants,
scholarships, loans, or work
experience. Generally, each form of financial aid has varying
deadlines, application processes, and eligibility requirements.
The mission of
Reedley College is to offer an accessible, student-centered
educational environment, which provides high-quality learning
opportunities essential in meeting the challenges of a diverse,
global community. In representation of this mission, the Reedley
College Financial Aid Office aims to increase accessibility to
higher education through assisting students in applying for and
receiving federal, state, and local sources of financial aid.
As an extension of
the services available in our office, our web site works as a
resource for information on financial aid programs, applying for
assistance, and establishing and maintaining eligibility.
The most important
step in applying for financial aid is to complete the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The FAFSA is
available in the Financial Aid Office or online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you plan to submit your application online,
you may also apply for a Personal Identification Number (PIN) at
www.pin.ed.gov to submit an electronic signature.
Because the
financial aid process can be overwhelming, you may also contact us
in person by visiting our offices at Reedley College or by phone for
additional assistance.
