Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®)

Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) is the first step to receive financial aid at Navarro College. Use your Federal Student Aid Identification (FSA ID) and tax information to apply online. Our Financial Aid team is here to help students and parents with every step of the process.

 

 Important 

  • Students and parents each need to create an account with StudentAid to get the FSA ID before starting the FAFSA®.

  • Good news! Tax returns from 2 years prior can be used toward the FAFSA® - No guessing required!

  • When you are completing the FAFSA® and need immediate assistance, a chat feature is available on the FAFSA® website or 1-800-4FED-AID.

  • If you would like to meet with a Financial Aid Success Coach, contact us by sending us an email or call (903) 875-7400, and we can schedule you for a virtual, phone, or in-person session.

  • After the FAFSA® is submitted, review your Student Aid Report (SAR) for any changes needed.

 

 Student Aid 

FAFSA® helps determine what types of federal student aid you are eligible to receive.

  • GRANTS - Free money that doesn't have to be repaid.

  • WORK-STUDY - Gives you the opportunity to earn money to help pay for your education.

  • LOANS - Money that needs to be repaid with interest.

 

 After Completing the FAFSA® 

Check Self-Service to find your award letter explaining what financial aid Navarro College is offering you.

This can also include state and institutional aid. If you list multiple schools as options in your FAFSA®, you may only receive federal aid from one institution per semester.
