How to Apply for Federal Financial Aid
To apply for federal financial aid, students must complete the following steps:
The federal processing center will email instructions on how to access online copies of the Student Aid Reports (SAR) or mail paper Student Aid Reports directly to students if valid emails are not provided. Financial aid applicants must review the information in part two of the Student Aid Reports to ensure that the reports are accurate. The Financial Aid Office will send notification emails to students' @student.athenstech.edu email accounts informing them that the institution has received their FAFSA. If selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education, the Financial Aid Office will send emails to students' @student.athenstech.edu email and letters through the United States Postal Service informing them of the required documents needed to complete the verification process. The college cannot award financial aid until students submit the documents requested as part of the verification process.
