Filing the FAFSA

FAFSA’s can be completed after January 1, 2010 at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Be sure to use accurate, completed 2009 tax return information on your FAFSA. Allow 7 to 10 business days for your FAFSA results to be received at Crown. Crown’s Title IV code is 002383.

**Priority Date for FAFSA**

This is the priority date we need to have received your 2010-2011 FAFSA results. FAFSAs received prior to March 1, 2010 will be given priority consideration for financial aid. FAFSAs received after this date will be considered for aid based on the availability of funds.

2010-2011 Financial Aid Award Packages

The Financial Aid Office will begin mailing 2010-2011 financial aid award packages to students who have completed the FAFSA and to students who have elected not to complete the FAFSA (please notify the Financial Aid Office). Each year the federal government selects a percentage of FAFSA applicants for Verification; this can delay the delivery of a student’s financial aid award package. Students selected for the Verification process will be contacted by our office and informed regarding what documents they must submit.
