Freshman Transition Program To-do List

Step 7: Direct FAFSA to CCBC   Deadline: ASAP Contact:  Financial Aid Office - 443-840-3088

The To-Do List information below is for students entering fall 2011. Information for students entering fall 2012 will be available in mid-April.

You may be selected for verification of the information you provide on your FAFSA. Before a financial aid award letter can be generated, you must submit all requested documentation.

Applying for Financial Aid

All financial aid will be administered by CCBC. Financial aid includes:

• Grants
• Private, state and institutional scholarships
• Student loans
• Alternative and Parent PLUS loans
  

All students are strongly encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) located online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you have already submitted FAFSA, you must go online to direct your application to CCBC (Code #002063). Please visit the CCBC website for additional financial aid information or call Barry Amos at 443-840-3088.

Additional information you should know:

1. If you have received a Maryland State Scholarship, grant or private scholarship, you must contact the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) at 1-800-974-0203 or the awarding organization to advise them that you are changing institutions and to redirect your
   funds to CCBC.
2. Your financial aid award may not cover the total cost of your educational expenses. We encourage your parents to apply for a Parent Plus Loan to pay for educational costs not covered by other forms of financial aid. You may also want to consider applying for a student
   loan. CCBC will notify you with loan application information.
3. CCBC will inform Towson of anticipated financial aid once the financial aid verification process is complete.
4. All aid must be complete and finalized by the middle of July. Any remaining balance after anticipated financial aid must be paid in full by August 2.
5. The program coordinator will deliver financial aid refunds to the Towson Bursar’s Office to be endorsed by students. The disbursement of aid is based on CCBC’s federal financial aid regulations. Student loans are processed in two disbursements: the first one is processed 30 days after the start of the semester, and the second disbursement is processed at the midway point of the semester. All Parent PLUS loans will be mailed home to your parent(s) as they must be endorsed.
