Where to Start
Apply for a financial aid PIN or personal identification number right away at http://www.pin.ed.gov so you can sign your FAFSA electronically and for faster processing.Dependent students should have one of their parents get a PIN also. Your next action will be to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and include the Heritage Christian University Federal School Code (015370) so that our office of Financial Aid will receive your FAFSA information. The Department of Education will determine your Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) using the information you provided on your FAFSA. The FAFSA must be completed on-line at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Keep in mind the FAFSA is a FREE application. If the website you are on is asking for payment to process your FAFSA application, you have logged on to the wrong site. Log out immediately and go to the correct website listed above.
Once the required information is received, your Financial Aid award will be “packaged” and sent to you in an Award Letter.
