Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Applications can be filled out online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. There are FAFSA worksheets available in your financial aid office to assist you in filling out the web application. If you have any question or concerns about filling out your online FAFSA application, please contact the Mesa State College Office of Financial Aid.
In 2-3 weeks from the date that you completed and submitted the FAFSA, it will be reviewed and processed by the financial aid office to determine whether you are eligible for need-based assistance. Your calls are encouraged in order to check the status of your online application, but please wait the estimated time before inquiring.
If additional documentation is necessary, the financial aid office will be contacting you via mail with the request. If no extra paperwork is needed, you will receive an "Award Letter" in the mail. The Award Letter is a listing of all your financial aid eligibility for the school year.
Return the award letter to the Financial Aid Office accepting or rejecting each item on the award. You may mail your signed award letter to:
| Mesa State College Financial Aid Office 1100 North Avenue Grand Junction, CO 81501 |
or | Fax to: Mesa State College Financial Aid 970.248.1191 |
