• Loans
Loans, unlike grants or work-study, are borrowed money that must be repaid, with interest. These are real loans-just like car loans or mortgages. You cannot have these loans canceled because you didn't like the education you received or because you're having financial difficulty. These loans are a serious obligation, so think about the amount you'll have to repay over the years before you take out a loan. Please read instructions carefully and submit the appropriate Loan worksheet for the loan(s) you are requesting.

Student Loans: To apply for a Federal Direct Stafford loan (Subsidized and /or Unsubsidized), you must complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Student Loan Worksheet each academic year. The worksheet is your written permission for the Financial Aid Office to transmit necessary loan information to the Direct Loan Processing Center who will then process your Federal Direct Stafford Loan(s). The worksheet is returned to the Financial Aid Office.

2009-2010 Student Direct Loan Worksheet (Fall 2009-Summer 2010)

Parent (PLUS) Loans: To apply for a Federal Direct Parent (PLUS) loan, the dependent student must first complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The parent must then complete and submit the Parent Loan Worksheet to the Financial Aid Office. Additional criteria are detailed on the loan worksheet. Please follow instructions carefully.

• Special Circumstances
Use the forms below to request exceptions to policy or revisions on your FAFSA due to extenuating circumstances.

Revision Requests: If you would like to be considered for a reevaluation of your financial aid award because of DECREASED RESOURCES and/or CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES since you completed your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you may submit a Revision Request. Please keep in mind that financial aid funds are limited and our response may depend on the funds available. In addition, adjustments are subjects to federal and institutional guidelines. Generally, requests are met with Federal Stafford Loan (subsidized and unsubsidized) or Parent Loan (PLUS). Processing time varies from as little as two weeks to several months during the peak processing period. We will send an award letter to you if we are able to offer additional aid or we will notify you in writing if your request is denied. Please keep in mind that the revisions are year specific. Make sure that the form reflects the correct academic year that you are attending.

ELIGIBILITY: In order to be eligible for financial aid you must be receiving a degree from Wenatchee Valley College. Summer only or visiting students are not eligible for financial aid.

ADDITIONAL APPLICATION: Summer quarter financial aid requires an additional separate application (see Summer Aid Application info and link below). You must complete page 1 of the application and submit it to our office for processing.

Types of Financial Aid Available for Summer Quarter:

1. Grants - Financial aid for summer is limited. Students that have received their full Pell grant for fall, winter and spring quarters will not be eligible for any more Pell grant for the summer. If you have not used your entire Pell grant, we may be able to award your remaining eligibility in the summer.

3. Workstudy - Limited funds. Please see the Summer Work Study Request Form information below

Summer Aid Application
In addition to the FAFSA, a Summer Aid Application is required for all students seeking aid for the summer quarter. If you have submitted your FAFSA, you may submit (and make updates as long as our office has not already processed your application) a summer application. Summer aid applicants are awarded after April and are part of the current academic year that is associated with fall through spring quarter. Awards are based on funds available. If a student has not used up all of their aid eligibility prior to summer and if the student is in good academic standing they will be awarded for the summer. See Aid for Summer for more information.
