Undergraduate
Applying for Aid
To apply for financial aid at Saint Michael's College for the fall of 2012, a student should submit the following as soon as possible:
In addition to the FAFSA, we may also notify you that the following documents are required:
- Parents' 2011 Federal Tax Transcript *
- Parents Federal W-2 forms
- Student's 2011 Federal Tax Transcript *
- Student's Federal W-2 forms
- Dependent 2012-13 Verification Worksheet (Please check the Student Financial Services forms library for the latest version.)
These documents should be sent as soon as possible after being requested to the Office of New Student Aid, One Winooski Park, Box 4, Colchester, VT 05439.
* Tax Transcripts can be requested from the IRS on-line at http://www.irs.gov or by calling 800.908.9946. The IRS does not charge a fee for transcripts. Copies of tax returns will not be accepted.
Students and parents who have completed their 2011 Federal tax return will be able to link to the IRS and transfer their tax information to their FAFSA. Many applicants will not have their federal tax returns completed by our FAFSA priority deadline of February 15th. In these cases, applicants can use "estimated income" information on the initial FAFSA. Return to FAFSA on the web for corrections once the tax returns are completed and link to the IRS database at that time.
Other documents may be requested as needed by the Office of New Student Aid during the verification process.
The FAFSA
The FAFSA form should be received by the Federal processing agency by February 15, 2012, if possible. For some families this may mean using estimated income and tax figures, which may be updated at a later date. The FAFSA can be filled out and submitted online, and is available anytime after January 1st. You should not wait for an admission decision from Saint Michael's College before filing the FAFSA. You must list Saint Michael's College as one of the colleges to receive a copy of the report from the processing agency.
The Saint Michael’s FAFSA code is 003694.
