Financial Aid Checklist:
1. Go to FAFSA.ed.gov, complete your FREE Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and keep track of your Personal Identification Number (PIN). If you are a Dependent student, your parent will also require a PIN.
- Assistance is available via live chat, e-mail, and telephone. También se les ofrecen servicios en Español. Be sure to use the IRS data retrieval tool to load your tax data directly to your FAFSA.
- You will need both the FAFSA and your PIN later on if you want to take out loans.
2. Use Baruch's college code (007273) when filling out the FAFSA and when filling out the application for the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (1409).
3. After filling out your FAFSA, you'll be assigned an Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Your EFC and your estimated Cost of Attendance is what we use to determine your need-based awards.
4. Seven to ten days after completing the FAFSA, visit the Office of Financial Aid to see for what types of aid you qualify.
5. If you qualify for federal grants and/or loans, you can check the Distribution Calendar to find out when you will be receiving your awards.
