Financial Aid Application Process For Continuing & New Students
Applying for financial aid, which must be done annually, can be simplified by following the steps below. Please note that you must also be registered before aid can be processed.
Step 1: File your Federal Income Tax Return
Complete your 2007 federal income tax return. If you are married and did not file jointly, your spouse's income information is also required. If you are not required to file a federal tax return, you must complete a Statement of Non-Filing. This form can be found under Financial Aid Forms.
Step 2: Apply for a PIN (Personal Identification Number)
Apply for a Personal Identification Number (PIN) at www.PIN.ed.gov. This will allow you to sign your FAFSA application electronically. If you already have a PIN, you do not need to re-apply for another.
Step 3: Fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on or after January 1st
Complete the 2008-2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.FAFSA.ed.gov. Make sure to select school code 010142 (Touro College - New York).
Step 4: Review your Student Aid Report (SAR) for errors
When you receive your Student Aid Report (SAR), please make any corrections that might be needed. Provide the Financial Aid Office any required documentation as indicated on your SAR. For example: citizenship or verification documentation.
Step 5: Review the Cost of Attendance (COA)
Review the COA to determine how much loans you will need to apply for.
Step 6: Complete the Financial Aid Packet & Student Loan Request Statement
Students interested in taking out Federal Student Loans should complete a Student Loan Request Statement and Student Financial Aid Packet. These forms can be found under Financial Aid Forms.
Step 7: Sign Electronic Master Promissory Note (eMPN)
If you are selecting a new lender or are a first time borrower at Touro College, you must go online and e-sign an eMPN with your lender in order for your funds to disburse.
