There are several forms to fill out. The first form that needs to be filled out is the FAFSA form and this form can be completed by going to www.fafsa.ed.gov. Let's take a quick look at the financial aid forms offered to Maysville Community & Technical College. The first form listed is the scholarship application. This is an excellent form for you to fill out for scholarship funds. These are typically funds that you do not have to pay back. This application can be completely filled out online and submitted to our financial aid department. Use the back arrow at the top of your screen to return to the previous screen by placing your cursor on the back arrow and select it using your mouse.

The next form is the financial aid release form. Select the form by moving your cursor over the title heading, FAR Release, and select it by using your mouse. The financial aid release form comes up; this form is a release for allowing your books to be paid for by your financial aid disbursements. The Title IV release allows any of your financial aid disbursements to pay for any additional charges such as library fees, parking fees, lab fees, et cetera.

The next few forms are to be utilized when using your FAFSA form, the verification worksheet, the worksheet A, B, C for verification. The Stafford Loan Application; the recalculation sheet is done if your financial circumstances change. The FAFSA form is based upon the previous year's income. A good example for needing your financial status recalculated is for the year you've lived on your own and supported yourself. But the FAFSA form requires you to report your parent's income even though you have been supporting yourself and do not receive financial support from them. You may be able to have your financial aid recalculated based on your income for the previous year. The satisfactory academic progress report--this is a report that students would use if they have lost their financial aid for some reason. You have the right to appeal and try to regain your financial aid. This form is filled out by the student and returned to the campus financial aid office for processing.
