The ABC’s of Financial Aid

Eastfield College: Title IV Code 008510

Attention: Federal regulations state that students can receive financial aid at only one college/school per semester.

Complete the attached Pre-Application worksheet. Use this as a guide in completing the FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID (FAFSA) on line at www.FAFSA.ed.gov. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, and be sure to include Eastfield’s TITLE IV CODE, 008510, in STEP SIX of the FAFSA. You may utilize the computer in the Financial Aid Office Resource Center, C237 or access the web from home.
IF you are attending Eastfield for the first time, or returning after a semester length absence, complete an ADMISSIONS APPLICATION. Financial aid awards will not be processed for students who do not have a current ADMISSIONS APPLICATION on file in the Admissions/Registrars Office.
Approximately two (2) weeks after completing your FAFSA on line, mailing in your signature page or signing with a pin number, the STUDENT AID REPORT (SAR) will be mailed to your home or you will receive an email notification (if you provide an email address), to check the status on the web. A copy will be sent to Eastfield electronically to process, as well.
IF Eastfield’s Title IV CODE appears on the SAR AND you have a current Admissions Application on file with Eastfield; you will be notified by email regarding the status of your application. BUT... IF your SAR does not list Eastfield’s Title IV Code, you will need to call 1-800-433-3243 to add school code 008510 or log onto www.fafsa.ed.gov with your pin. Your file cannot be processed without a DCCCD Title IV Code.
