Delgado
Community
College
believes
that no
student who
wishes to
pursue a
college
education
should be
denied that
opportunity
for
financial
reasons. In
determining
the need for
financial
assistance,
the Office
of Student
Financial
Assistance
is guided by
its estimate
of each
student’s
actual
expenses and
the income.
Each student
who is
eligible
will be
offered a
“package”
containing a
combination
of grants,
loans,
scholarships,
and/or
student
employment.
|
|
Formal
admission as
a
degree-seeking
student is
required
before
financial
assistance
can be
offered. The
student’s
file is not
considered
to be
complete and
cannot be
evaluated
until the
Financial
Assistance
Application
and all
other
requested
documents
have been
submitted. |
|
|
Application
Process: |
|
1. Complete
the Federal
form Free
Application
for Federal
Student Aid
(FASFA) and
mail it to
the Federal
processing
center in
the envelope
that comes
with the
form or you
can apply
over the
Internet at
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.
(Delgado’s
school code
is 004626). |
|
2. Complete
a Delgado
Financial
Assistance
Application
and return
it to the
Office of
Student
Financial
Assistance
on the
appropriate
campus.
Students
have a
campus code
that is
assigned to
them when
they first
register for
classes at
Delgado. If
you don’t
know your
campus code,
call the
Office of
the
Registrar at
(504)
671-5022. |
|
Once the
Office of
Student
Financial
Assistance
has received
the results
of the
student’s
Federal
application,
the
student’s
Delgado
application,
and any
other
documentation
the student
is asked to
provide, we
will send
the student
an official
Award
Letter.
Students may
accept all
or just a
part of the
aid offer.
If students
fail to sign
and return
their award
letters to
our office
within 10
working
days, the
offer of
assistance
might be
withdrawn
and the
funds
offered to
another
needy
student. If
that
happens, and
students
wish to
reinstate
their
applications,
the
effective
date of the
new
applications
will be the
date on
which
students
request that
the
applications
be
reinstated. |
|
Note: After
submitting
all
requested
documents,
if students
have not
been
notified
within 30
days of
their award
status, they
should make
an
appointment
to see a
financial
aid
counselor.
