How to Apply for Financial Aid
Applying for financial aid may seem overwhelming, but we’re here to make it simple. Whether you’re brand new to the process or returning to school, our team is ready to help you every step of the way. Here’s how to get started:
1. Fill Out the FAFSA
Start by visiting studentaid.gov and completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Be sure to include COLLECTIV Academy’s school code (listed below) so we can receive your information. This form determines your eligibility for federal grants, loans, and other financial assistance.
2. Connect With Our Financial Aid Team
Once your FAFSA is submitted, our financial aid team will review your application and reach out to schedule a consultation. We’ll walk you through your next steps, answer your questions, and explain what you may qualify for.
3. Review Your Aid Package
After your aid is processed, we’ll go over your financial aid package together. You’ll learn how much funding you’re eligible for, what your options are, and what repayment may look like if loans are involved. We’re here to make sure you fully understand your award before moving forward.
4. Secure Your Spot
Once your financial aid is in place, you’ll complete your enrollment paperwork and secure your place in the next start date. From there, it’s all about preparing for orientation and your first day in class.
Have questions along the way? We’re just a call or email away. You don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re here to help.
