• What percentage are from in-state vs out-of-state?

• Is there diversity on campus (ethnic, geographic, family income)?

• How do I spend my free time?

• What makes me feel passionate?

• How do I learn best?

• What do I think I want to do in the future?

• What type of degree am I seeking?

• Should I live at home and commute or live on campus?

Parent(s) & student’s: • Legal names • Social Security numbers • Dates of birth • Email addresses • 2018 W-2 forms and other records of money earned • 2018 Federal Income Tax Return (the 1040 form).

WHAT TO DO AFTER SUBMITTING YOUR FAFSA FAFSA ACKNOWLEDGMENT The processed FAFSA results will be sent to the colleges you listed on the FAFSA, and the college Financial Aid Office will determine the amount of financial aid you will receive.

If you provided an email on the FAFSA, in 1-3 days you will receive an email with a secure link to access your Student Aid Report (SAR) online. If you did not provide an email, you will receive the SAR in the mail. If the information is incorrect, it may be necessary to go back into fafsa.gov and make corrections to a processed FAFSA. Got questions about the FAFSA? Call 1.800.4FEDAID (1.800.433.3243).

VERIFICATION

Some financial aid applications will be selected for a federally required verification process. This means that you will be expected to provide supporting documentation for the information on your FAFSA. You may be asked to verify numbers from your FAFSA such as household size, number in college, or untaxed income. You may be asked to upload your tax return directly from the IRS using the FAFSA IRS Data Retrieval tool, or you can provide an IRS Tax Return Transcript by requesting online at irs.gov or by calling 800.908.9946.

The information that the college requests must be sent to the financial aid office at the college. Most colleges will not make a financial aid award for you until verification is complete.

14

NEXT! College Guide |

13

AWARD NOTIFICATION You will receive a financial aid award notification only from those colleges to which you have been offered admission.

Some colleges may require additional forms for financial aid, and it will be your responsibility to complete and submit these documents.

The award notification will tell you what financial aid you are eligible to receive, how to accept and the next steps in the process.

Typically, schools will allow you to accept your award online. However, you may receive an award letter by mail. You should determine which of the awards you will accept and which you will decline. When it comes to student loans, you can choose the amount that you would like to accept.

There may be a deadline for accepting financial aid.

STUDENT LOANS If you accept federal student loans, you will need to follow the college’s process for completing the Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Loan Entrance Counseling.

WHAT’S NEXT AFTER APPLYING FOR THE STATE GRANT

Apply on the website at mississippi.edu/financialaid for aid from the State of Mississippi or link from the FAFSA confirmation page.

NEXT STEPS • Check your Mississippi student account online at mississippi.edu/financialaid.

• Check missing documents and submit any requested documents.

• After March, verify that your counselor has individually certified your coursework for HELP and submitted your GPA and ACT score by April 30.

For questions about the Mississippi application, contact the Mississippi Office of Student Financial Aid at 601.432.6997.

SELECTED FOR VERIFICATION?

Colleges will require some students to submit extra documents to verify information on their FAFSA. It doesn’t mean you’ve completed the FAFSA incorrectly.

The How-tos and What-fors of

HOUSING Residence life...There is nothing quite like it. After years of

BENEFITS OF LIVING ON CAMPUS:

living with your parents (and maybe an annoying sibling or two), the freedom of living on your own may seem like an attractive proposition. However, for others, the thought of living in a small space with a person you may be meeting for the first time doesn’t have the same appeal.

• •

Closer to classrooms, so you can sleep in!

•

You have a quiet/private place to go between classes.

Commuter students have access to common study areas but no private place to relax between classes.

• •

Closer to the cafeteria or food court.

And small spaces can be pretty small. Rooms can range in size, but most average less than 150 square feet. Most rooms will have two beds, two desks, and two closets. Some might even include a microwave and microfridge. However, you may have to provide your own appliances, so be sure to ask an admissions counselor what each room provides. And, keep in mind that in many cases not all residence halls, even on the same campus, are made exactly alike. The style and amenities can vary from residence hall to residence hall.

Meet new people within the residence hall.

OFF-CAMPUS BENEFITS:

Part of the admissions process is completing a housing application. Schools typically require students to pay a housing deposit that can range between $50 and $75. Some colleges and universities time-stamp their admissions applications for priority housing, while others only require students to be admitted by early October.

“It’s important to apply early for housing to ensure that you can get one of your top preferences when it comes to residence halls,” said Anetra Yearwood, former Jackson State University resident advisor. “In most cases, the sooner you apply the sooner you will get an assignment.”

If you live on campus, you’re assigned a room and a roommate, and need to follow rules for visitation, quiet hours, bathroom etiquette, and other areas. “When you understand all the rules of a residence hall, you minimize your chance of getting a fine and increase your chance of making lasting positive impressions with housing staff,” added Yearwood.

“Positive relationships with housing staff will work in your favor if you ever consider becoming a resident

advisor.”

Being a resident advisor, or RA, is an option that many students may want to pursue if they live on campus as a sophomore, junior, or senior. RAs are trained to work with students, live in residence halls, act as role models to other students, counsel students, and help enforce dorm policies. RAs typically have their housing paid for and may also receive a stipend.

28

Fewer parking issues. Most students who live on campus park their cars and rarely touch them during the week. Commuter student may have to park farther off campus and lots can fill up quickly.

•

Residence halls require quiet hours. If you are a night owl, you can come and go as you wish.

• •

You are not required to have a meal plan.

•

Sharing apartments/housing with multiple roommates can save money.

• •

Privacy — you can have your own bedroom.

You can have pets, which residence halls don’t typically allow

Eating meals — mealtime is whenever you want it.

On-campus cafeterias may have set hours of operation.

QUESTIONS TO ASK

your high school counselor:

your college admissions recruiter:

Remember—there’s plenty of help available as you plan for college. You don’t have to do it on your own! Start by setting up a meeting with your high school counselor.

Here are a few questions to get you started.

Whether you visit the campus in person or online, it’s important to ask questions to help you determine if the college or university is a good fit for you. First of all, try not to ask questions you can find the answers to on the website such as, “Do you have a nursing degree?” Most importantly, do not ask questions that aren’t really important to you.
