Athletic Award (men and women) All financial aid awards, with the exception of Athletic Awards, Presidential Scholarships, Continuing Student Scholarships, the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, the PLUS loan, and some institutional and Fort Lewis College Foundation scholarships/awards, are based on financial need. Every effort is made to provide the best type of aid or combination of aid to assist students in completing a college education. All financial aid awards, however, are contingent upon availability of funds. A number of other scholarships are available. Eligibility and selection criteria vary depending on donor instructions. Additional information may be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid. Students wishing to be
considered for all programs of need-based student financial aid
are required to complete and submit the federal financial aid application
called the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The
FAFSA may be obtained from the student's high school counselor,
from an Office of Financial Aid (OFA) at any local college or university,
or from the The "Federal School Code" is required on the last page of the FAFSA. The Fort Lewis College code number is 001353. The student's financial aid application for the 2003-04 school year (Summer 2003, Fall 2003, Winter 2004, and Summer 2004 Trimesters) should be completed and mailed as soon as possible after January 1, 2003, because most of the need-based aid programs are awarded on a highest need, first-come, first-served basis. Once the financial aid application file is complete in all respects, the determination of eligibility for various awards is made. Awards are offered from the various aid programs until all funds have been awarded. In order to allow adequate time for completion of the aid application file, it is strongly advised that the student mail the FAFSA no later than February 15, 2003. Students who complete their application later may still qualify for some need-based financial aid programs (Federal Pell Grant and/or Federal Stafford Loan), but limited campus-based aid, including work-study, will likely not be available. Eligible students wishing to borrow from the Stafford Loan Program will be sent information about the electronic loan application procedure when they accept the offer. A loan application "Borrower Information Sheet" must then be completed by the student and submitted to the Office of Financial Aid for certification. Complete consumer information relevant to all student services programs is available upon request. Requests for information should be directed to the appropriate office. |
