Listed below are the most commonly used Financial Aid forms.
Please do not submit Loan Requests or any Verification info until Peninsula College has received your FAFSA for the Academic Year. Loan Requests cannot be processed until a student's FAFSA is received, file completed, reviewed, and an eligibility determination made.
Verification forms are required for students whose FAFSA was selected by the Department of Education* or the school for a review process called verification, in which certain info reported on the FAFSA must be confirmed by the student and/or parent. “Dependent” forms are for students whose parental info was required on the FAFSA, who are under the age of 24; parent info and signatures are also required on the “Dependent” forms. “Independent” forms are for students who met the FAFSA’s criteria for being considered independent, meaning parental info was not required on their application.
All required forms will be made available in the student’s ctcLink account once their FAFSA is received by the college.
*The Department of Education requires the school to request certain information from the student (and parent, if the student is a Dependent) in order to verify information that was reported on the student's FAFSA. The school is not able to waive this requirement, and cannot disburse financial aid until all required forms/documents have been submitted and the verification process has been completed. The school may ask for additional clarification if there is conflicting or missing information.
