Once you confirm your email address, you will be able to log into the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) website using your email address. Your FSA ID is needed to complete the next step in the application process which is completing and signing the FAFSA form. Apex Technical School is a FAFSA-approved trade school, meaning it’s eligible to accept federal student aid for students who qualify.
The information that you provide in the FAFSA application will help the school determine if you are eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, federal work-study and federal student loans. When completing the FAFSA form, make sure you list Apex Technical School as your school choice (federal school code: #007518), as this will ensure we receive your information in a timely manner.
It’s best to have your FAFSA completed at least 10 days prior to the start of classes since we cannot process any aid until your data is received from the federal processor. The absolute deadline to file your FAFSA is a few days before you finish school, as we must receive your information while you are still enrolled to process your aid.
Approximately one out of every three FAFSA applications will be chosen by the Department of Education for a review process known as verification. If your application is selected, you (and your parent, if you are a dependent student) will be asked to provide copies of prior year tax returns, along with other income and asset information. We will let you know if you were selected for verification and give you a list of necessary documentation.
Unfortunately, we cannot process any financial aid until all the required documentation is submitted and reviewed. At times, this process will require us to make changes to your FAFSA data, which can add time to the processing. Therefore, it is important that you submit any documentation as soon as possible.
