  • Apply using one of the options below:
    1. Apply electronically using FAFSA on the Web
    2. Complete the paper version of the FAFSA (This form is also available in the CSC Office of Financial Aid, as well as all colleges, universities and high schools throughout the nation.)(Note: Applying electronically is the fastest and easiest method. When processing paper forms, it can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks for you to receive the Student Aid Report (see step 3.) When applying electronically, it only takes 2-3 weeks for you to receive your SAR (Student Aid Report).
  • Submit the FAFSA.
    This can be done electronically if you completed the FAFSA online. If you filled out a form from the FAFSA booklet, mail it using the envelope provided with the booklet. Do not forget to sign and date the FAFSA. If you are submitting the form online, be sure to read and follow instructions relating to signatures and electronic signatures. You may even need to mail in a signature page before your application can be completed. Please keep in mind that if any portion of your FAFSA is incomplete or incorrect, it will not be processed, which will result in delays.
  • Receive and review your Student Aid Report (SAR).
    Once your FAFSA has been processed, you will receive your SAR. The Office of Financial Aid will also receive this information if you listed Connors State College (Code 003153) on the FAFSA as one of the schools to receive your eligibility results. This will summarize the information you completed on the FAFSA and will include your Estimated Family Contribution (EFC). Review the SAR to make sure all information is accurate.
