Financial Aid Information

Financial Aid Workshop...Monday, January 25, 2010 at 6:30 pm

A financial aid representative from Baker College Flint will be here to discuss financial aid.  Please come prepared to learn about all aspects of financial aid, including how to fill out the important, sometimes difficult, FAFSA.  Even if you don't feel that your student will be eligible for financial aid grants, many scholarships require that you fill the FAFSA out.  This seminar is free and does not promote Baker College.  We will be meeting in the high school--room to be announced later.


College Goal Sunday...Sunday, February 14, 2010...1 - 4 pm

Baker College of Owosso is one of the colleges hosting College Goal Sunday.  Financial Aid Advisors will be on hand to assist with the completion of FAFSA applications and to answer any financial aid questions for students and parents.  Owosso's will be located at the Technological Center on the main campus.


The Christian Connector provides a free Christian college information service as well as a $2,500 Christian college scholarship drawing.  Students can simply log onto www.christianconnector.com to request information and automatically be entered in the $2,500 scholarship drawing.  There is also a free, new Online Christian College Scholarship Resource Program which allows students to search for the different types of scholarships that are of interest.


2010-2011 paper FAFSAs can no longer be ordered in bulk.  Students will be able to request a copy of the paper application by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243).

A PDF version of the FAFSA is available at www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov.  Students can access the PDF, complete the form on the computer or by hand, and mail it to the address provided for processing.  Below are the links to filing the FAFSA online as well as getting your PIN, which is necessary for applying online.

The Department is the source of nearly 70 percent of all student aid awarded in the U.S. each year. The vast majority of the Department's aid is not based on academic merit. For further information and an online application, visit the Department's Web site at www.studentaid.ed.gov. Alternatively, you may call the Federal Student Aid Information Center toll free: 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243). TTY for the hearing-impaired is 1-800-730-8913.
