Important Steps to Follow when applying for Financial Aid

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid online. Students who have completed their files by April 1st will receive priority consideration for additional funding.

After submitting the FAFSA, students will receive a letter or email from the Yavapai College Financial Aid Office with instructions for logging on to their portal account to see if additional documents are being requested. The Yavapai College Financial Aid Office verifies all students selected for verification by the US Department of Education. Students selected for verification are notified via e-mail that they must provide additional documents and financial records for their eligibility to be determined.

Students whose files are complete by the priority deadline will be able to review their award on their portal no later than June 15th for the upcoming academic year. Students who apply for financial aid after the priority deadline date will be sent an award notification upon completion of their files. How soon students receive their award notifications depends on the date they completed their files and the accuracy of the information they've provided. Average wait times vary from 2 - 3 weeks.

Outstanding balances owed to the college will be deducted from the student’s financial aid award. Checks will be mailed for any remaining balance. Check availability depends on the date the student’s financial aid file was completed and date the student enrolled. This check will be mailed to their address that is on file. It is the student's responsibility to keep their address current via their my.yc.edu portal.
