🌟Important Notice: Updates on Financial Aid Support🌟

Great news! We're currently wrapping up aid applications for 2024-25 and starting to review applications for 2025-26.

Once we receive your FAFSA or WASFA, we’ll send you a welcome letter to let you know we’ve started working on your file. Make sure to check your To Do List often so you don’t miss anything we might need from you. We will begin awarding 2025-26 Financial Aid in May and will process files in the order they are received. 

💰Spring Quarter Aid:
If you're enrolled for Spring classes, we're prioritizing your financial aid to ensure you're supported for the upcoming quarter. To avoid having your classes dropped due to non-payment, applications submitted before Janury 31st will receive a Tuition Deferred hold. Our team is working quickly to process your Spring aid so you can focus on your academic goals.

🔍To Do List:
Need to check if anything is required from you? Head to the "Tasks" section on your ctcLink home page for any updates. We’re continuously working to update the To Do List items, so please be aware it may take 5-7 business days for your submitted items to show as completed. Not everyone will need to submit additional documents, but if you do, we’ll notify you promptly once we receive your aid application.

📋FAFSA and WASFA Help:
Need assistance with your FAFSA or WASFA application for the 2024-25 or 2025-26 school years? We’ll be hosting help events at SA149 during the following times:

  • May 7, 10am - 12pm
  • May 21, 10am - 12pm
  • May 28, 10am - 12pm

If you are unable to attend our FAFSA/WASFA workshop, you may schedule an appointment for FAFSA/WASFA application assistance here: FAFSA/WASFA Appointments

This link is only to make appointments for help with completing the FAFSA or WASFA aid application. We cannot answer questions about the status of your aid. For that, you will need to contact the general Green River College Financial Aid Office. Our contact details are below, and you may contact us via phone, email, or visiting us during front desk hours.

WELCOME TO FINANCIAL AID

We believe that every student should have access to higher education, regardless of economic background. Finances should not be a barrier to getting the education you want. Whatever you plan to study, you're in the right place to explore the many scholarship, grant, loan and work study options available that help make paying for college as affordable as possible.
