Apply For Financial Aid


FAFSA Introduction Video


Steps to Apply for Financial Aid:

  1. Apply For Admission: Before we are able to receive any Financial Aid information, we must have a Pellissippi State Admissions application on file. Please visit the Enrollment Guide for more information on completing the admissions process.
  2. Get A PIN: Go to www.pin.ed.gov and apply for a PIN number. This PIN number will be used to electronically sign your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is used to determine what aid you will qualify for.
  3. Fill Out The FAFSA: Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and complete the FAFSA online application. You will need a copy of your federal tax returns. If you are a dependent student, you will also need your parent's tax returns. In order for PSCC to receive your Student Aid Report (SAR), an admissions application MUST be completed. Within five to seven business days Pellissippi will receive your FAFSA information (if you've completed an admissions application).
  4. Check For Outstanding Requirements: Within five to seven business days Pellissippi will receive* your Student Aid Report (SAR) [*if you've completed an admissions application]. Once your admissions application has been processed you will be able to login to your myPellissippi account and check for any outstanding requirements.
