Students should apply by March 1
for best offers and no later than April 30
to meet the deadline for the Maine scholarship program. Financial aid is still
available for students applying later than these dates, but the total awards
available may be substantially reduced.
All students must file a
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to
qualify for awards from any of the financial aid programs offered by KVCC.
Applicants may complete and mail a paper application or they may file
electronically using the web site:
www.fafsa.ed.gov. Additionally, all students must submit copies of the
federal IRS 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ they and their spouses filed for the calendar
year just completed. Parents' federal IRS forms also must be submitted for
dependent students. More complete information regarding the financial aid
process is available by contacting the Financial Aid Office (1-800-528-5882,
ext. 5121). or accessing "Financial Aid at the College's web site at
www.kvcc.me.edu
Use Federal School Code: 009826
Everyone can use FAFSA on the web. If you applied for aid last year,
you can access your partially completed Renewal Application on the Web
using your Personal Identification Number (PIN) which will be mailed to you
between November 15 and December 31 by the Federal Processing Center.
Regardless of which version you use, be sure to sign your signature page and
mail it to the Federal Processing Center.
If you choose to sign your FAFSA electronically and do not have an
assigned PIN, you may apply at the federal website
www.pin.ed.gov. You will receive your
PIN in 7-10 days. Keep this PIN in a safe place for future use.
Your Student Aid Report
(SAR) will arrive in the mail about a week after your signature page is
received. The KVCC Financial Aid Office will receive a copy of your SAR
electronically when you use Federal School Code 009826.
Additionally, all students
must submit to the KVCC Finacial Aid Office:
1. Signed copies of the Federal IRS 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ's tax forms (with
W-2's) filed by the student and/or spouse, and parents (if applying as
dependent students); and
2. Verification of untaxed and non taxable income.
More complete information regarding the
financial aid process is available
by contacting the
Financial Aid Office (1-800-528-5882, ext. 5121).
TIPS for Completing your Financial Aid
Application
- Provide estimated income figures if necessary (you do not have to wait
until tax forms are filed with the IRS).
- Enter your name and social security (SS) number exactly as they appear on
your SS card. If you had a name change, correct it with the SS Office.
- Dependent students: if your parents are divorced or widowed and have
remarried, include your step-parent’s information.
- Independent students who are married at the time of application MUST
include spouse income regardless of marriage date.
- Use worksheet A to total your untaxed income, and keep a copy of this
worksheet.
- If you or your family have unusual circumstances (i.e. loss of employment,
major medical expenses), notify the
KVCC Financial Aid Office.
- Verification documents should be
submitted directly to the Financial Aid Office at KVCC (i.e.; IRS Forms), not to
the FAFSA Processing Center.
