To apply for financial assistance and merit scholarships, families must complete Grinnell College's Application for Financial Aid and Scholarships (AFA) as well as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Please return the AFA to Grinnell College as indicated on the application. You must send the FAFSA to the processing center no later than February 1. Be sure to list Grinnell's Title IV school code-001868-on the FAFSA. Make sure you submit documents by established deadlines so you don't miss out on funds.
If your family is unsure of certain income tax information, it is better to estimate amounts than to delay submitting the FAFSA and AFA until IRS tax forms have been completed.
To receive notice of your financial aid eligibility, complete one of the three following options.
| Option 1 | To receive a preliminary award with your admission decision, you must submit the AFA by February 1. Please be advised that a preliminary award is estimated and may be adjusted once tax returns and additional documents are verified. A final award will be mailed when the admission deposit is paid and all required forms have been submitted. |
| Option 2 | To receive a final award with your admission decision, you must submit the following documents by February 1: the completed AFA, your parents' signed 2008 federal income tax return, including all schedules and W2s, your signed 2008 federal income tax return, including all schedules and W2s, and any additional documents, as requested. |
| Option 3 | Transfer students are strongly encouraged to provide all documents as soon as possible, but no later than May 1. |
Remember: The FAFSA must be mailed to the processing center no later than February 1. You may estimate in order to meet deadlines. Failure to list Grinnell College may result in a delayed award. The Grinnell College Title IV school code is 001868.
