Attention Students, you can apply now for Financial Aid for the Fall 2010, Spring and Summer 2011 semesters!
You can apply for Financial Aid right here. The FAFSA is used to determine eligibility for all types of Financial Aid - Federal, State, Loans, and certain scholarships.
We recommend that students starting school in the fall term complete the FAFSA around April 15th. For student's applying for 2010-2011 award year, the state of New Jersey has a deadline of June 1, 2010 to apply to be eligible for the state Tuition Aid Grant (TAG). This deadline does not apply to any federal grants, loans or scholarships and students who apply after June 1st will still be eligible for these other types of aid.
Important information regarding the state Tuition Aid Grant (TAG)
In order to be considered for TAG, NJ residents must provide additional income information to the New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority (HESAA). ALL TAG eligible students must comply with this new requirement. Your TAG award is determined by the HESAA (the state agency that awards state grants). Raritan Valley Community College does not determine your eligibility for TAG. Failure to provide the required information to HESAA will automatically make you ineligible to receive TAG. You will be contacted directly by HESAA. Submit the documents requested by HESAA to HESAA. Do not send the information to RVCC as this will delay the processing of your TAG award. Once HESAA determines your TAG eligibility RVCC will be notified. HESAA can be contacted directly through their website or by phone at 800-792-8670.
