View Financial Assistance Brochure View Financial Assistance Checklist Financial Assistance 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. After Submitting the Free Application A Student Aid Report (SAR) will be available online at www.fafsa.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 upon receipt of the financial aid application and a reminder email is sent in 30 days. You may also use WebAdvisor to check for documents needed. Forms can be downloaded and printed from WebAdvisor. 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.gov Search publications such as The Student Guide or Funding Your Education at www.studentaid.ed.gov 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 WebAdvisor. Priority Dates Fall: June 1 Students must have their financial aid package completed before registration. Late applicants must come prepared to meet their expenses. Reimbursements (up to the amount of eligibility) are made to qualified students. Lottery Tuition Assistance (LTA) You must be enrolled in at least six credit hours per semester. After attempting 24 credit hours, you must have a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0. You may not receive this assistance for more than one certificate, diploma or degree earned within a five year period unless the additional certificate or diploma constitutes progress in the same field of study. Students who are eligible for or a recipient of LIFE Scholarship may not receive this assistance. Scholarships A number of
scholarships are available to qualified students. Scholarships are provided
through the York Technical College
Foundation and local citizens, civic clubs and businesses. They are
awarded on a competitive basis based on financial need, academic excellence,
and leadership. Other scholarships may become available throughout the
year and this information is published in the monthly student newsletter. Federal Stafford Loans Federal Stafford Loans are now available at York Technical College. You must file a FAFSA to determine your initial eligibility. Online entrance loan counseling is required for all borrowers and an entrance interview will be required for first-time student borrowers.
