GTCC - Orientation

All interested applicants must complete a GTCC Financial Aid Application, which includes the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form.

The priority application date is usually in March of each year. Applications will be accepted at any time; however, eligible recipients of aid may not receive their funds prior to enrollment if the application is filed after March. If aid is not awarded until after the term begins, the applicant is responsible for paying all tuition, fees and other expenses at the time of enrollment.

The Financial Aid staff will assist applicants in the application process, but will not complete the form for the applicant. Computers are available in the Financial Aid Office for student use in submitting the FAFSA via electronic media. Submitting the FAFSA application electronically reduces the time of return of the eligibility status and thus an earlier award, if eligible.

Financial Aid awards are determined each year and an application must be submitted annually during the period of enrollment. The financial aid year commences with the fall of each year and includes both spring and summer of the academic year.
