Financial Aid Checklist

---

File 2014 Federal Income Tax Returns at least two weeks prior to completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  When completing the FAFSA, please use the “IRS Data Retrieval Tool” to prevent further delays in processing your Financial Aid.

Gather financial information:

• 2014 W-2 forms
• 2014 Federal Income Tax Return
• Records of child support statements for all children (received or paid) in from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.
• If you are a dependent student you will also need parent(s)/stepparent information.
  • Social Security number(s) and birth dates
  • Income and financial records (as listed above)
• Current bank statements and records of stocks, bonds, and other investments.

• Select KCKCC as a school on your FAFSA
  • The federal school code for KCKCC is 001925.
  • The results of your FAFSA will be submitted electronically within 3-5 business days to KCKCC for review.
• Request a PIN (Personal Identification Number) at www.pin.ed.gov
• Complete this process for you and one parent if you are a dependent student (the PIN will be used as an electronic signature).
• Make sure you save your application and click the “Submit” button located on the very last page of the online FAFSA form.
• Print a copy of your confirmation page to keep for your records.  You will use the same PIN in the future.
