FAFSA Info

First Steps To File Your Fafsa

Create an FSA ID at studentaid.govIn order to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, students now need a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID), made up of a selected username and password. Students and parents should create their own in order to electronically sign their FAFSAs and other federal financial aid documents. What’s an FSA ID and Why Do I Need One?

File online at studentaid.gov. The FAFSA is available after Oct. 1. You will want to file after you have completed the previous year’s taxes. If you have filed a FAFSA in the previous year, you may be able to file a renewal FAFSA online, which has pre-filled information. This online application determines if you are eligible for Federal Grants, Loans, Scholarships and Work Study.

OR you can bring your information into the Financial Aid Office and we can help you complete your application at the self-help terminals.

For our visually impaired students, the FAFSA is available in Braille. If you are hearing impaired, contact the TTY line at 1-800-730-8913. Other filing options can be found at studentaid.gov/help/which-fafsa

Information about completing the FAFSA in Spanish can be found here.

After completing your FAFSA, the Department of Education will send you your Student Aid Report (SAR) which is confirmation that your FAFSA has been received and processed. If you provided an email address on the FAFSA, you will receive the SAR via email. Please review the information carefully and contact CCC's Financial Aid Office at (575) 769-4060 if corrections need to be made.

Keep your SAR for your records. CCC’s Financial Aid Office will receive your SAR electronically, and will inform you by letter if any further documentation is needed.

Apply early! Because it can take several weeks to process a FAFSA, we encourage you to apply early and follow through with all requirements in order to receive an early award letter. Some types of aid are limited and awarded on a first-come first-serve basis.
