General Financial Aid Information
The Financial Aid office is pleased to administer federal, state, and local financial aid programs on behalf of its students. Financial Aid Programs available include the Federal Pell Grant (Pell), Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Work Study (FWS) and Georgia's Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE). The Financial Aid Office is also the liaison for numerous scholarship programs sponsored by the College Foundation, civic, religious, and corporate agencies.
Steps in Applying for Federal Financial Aid
- Submit an application for admission to the institution. Students must be accepted into an eligible program in order to receive financial aid.
- File a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It is recommended that students file their FAFSA at least four to six weeks prior to the date the funds will be needed. The application is available from the institution's financial aid office or may be obtained from a high school guidance counselor.
- A Student Aid Report (SAR) will be mailed directly to the student from the federal processor. When received, submit the SAR to the institution's financial aid office. You will need to review the information in part 2 to ensure that it is accurate and complete the student use box in part 1 before you submit this form to the institution.
- If selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education, you must send signed copies of the tax returns used to complete your application (if applicable) and documentation for all untaxed income and benefits reported on your application. A verification worksheet will be provided to any student selected for verification. In addition, applicants should note that Athens Technical College does not participate in any of the federal loan programs.
Students pursuing associate degrees who are required to complete learning support courses to improve basic skills will not be eligible for financial aid until such time as all prescribed learning support courses are satisfactorily completed.
The FAFSA may be filed online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov
