Overview
General Information
The mission of York Technical College’s Financial
Resources Office is to provide quality assistance to all students and to make every effort to insure students who desire to attend the College, but cannot afford to do so, are provided financial
resource assistance to complete their educational goals. The types of aid available include grants, scholarships, loans, a tuition payment plan, part-time employment, and veterans’ benefits.
The Financial Resources Office is located in the Student Services Building.
Office hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to

After Submitting the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
A Student Aid Report (SAR) will be
available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov within
two to four weeks after the FAFSA is submitted. Applicants should review the SAR carefully and
notify the Financial Resources Office if corrections are needed. The Financial
Resources Office will receive the student’s record electronically (if the student listed York Technical College’s school code [003996] on the FAFSA)
and contact the student if additional information is required. Missing
information letters are mailed out every 21 days. You may also
use Campus Cruiser to check for documents needed. Forms can be
downloaded and printed from Campus Cruiser.
Electronic PIN Numbers
The U.S. Department of Education will mail
a personal identification number to new students who apply for assistance.
Students can use the PIN to access account information, renew applications, and take the place of the student’s signature for FAFSA on Web applications. Request a PIN at
www.pin.ed.gov
Additional Financial Aid Websites
Apply for student aid or make corrections at
www.fafsa.ed.gov Search publications such as The Student Guide or Funding Your Education at
www.ed.gov/studentaid
Awards
Priority dates are identified for each semester to provide adequate time for processing and awarding financial
assistance to students before classes start. If students submit their financial aid application after these dates, they should be prepared to pay for tuition, fees and books. Award notifications will be mailed approximately two weeks after student files are complete. The award notification will list the type(s) and amount(s) of assistance.
You can also view your status and award(s) on Campus Cruiser.
