Overview

A student starts the financial aid application process by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA form can be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Our Federal School code is 002583.

A new FAFSA must be filed each year. The financial aid year begins with the summer term at Great Bay Community College. The 2008-09 FAFSA is the application for aid for Summer 2008, Fall 2008, and Spring 2009. The 2009-10 FAFSA is the application for aid for Summer 2009, Fall 2009 and Spring 2010.

Eligibility Requirements

  • To be eligible for the aid programs listed below, a student must be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen, have a high school diploma or GED, and be admitted to an eligible program.

  • For most programs, a student must have financial need, as determined by the federal need analysis calculation, based on the information provided on the FAFSA. Several loan options exist for students who do not demonstrate financial need. For some grants and most loans, a student must be enrolled at least half-time (6 credits). Students who accept loans must complete loan counseling and sign a promissory note. To receive aid in future semesters, a student must meet qualitative and quantitative standards for satisfactory academic progress. These standards are described below and in the college's Financial Aid Handbook, available online at www.ccsnh.edu/links.html. The website address is mailed to each student who receives a financial aid award.
