What is Financial Assistance?
Financial assistance is money to
help you and your family cover
educational expenses. It is intended
to supplement (not replace) the
amount you and your family can
afford. Keep in mind that it is
ultimately the responsibility of you
and your family to finance your
education.
Financial assistance comes from a
variety of sources, including federal,
state, and local funds. Grants,
scholarships, and work-study
programs are the main types of
assistance available to you. Bevill
State Community College does not
participate in any federal student
loan programs.
How Does It Work?
To be considered for most types of
financial assistance, you must first
complete a form called the “Free
Application for Federal Student Aid”
which is available in the Office of
Student Services or online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov. Bevill State's Institution Code is 005733 (section six (6) on the FAFSA). It is important
that you complete this form as soon
as possible. Remember, you must fill
out a FAFSA form each year to be
considered for financial assistance.
Bevill State encourages students to
apply as soon as possible after
January 1 for the upcoming
academic year. Your need analysis
form will be evaluated by a
confidential aid application
processor. Using a standard formula,
set by the government, the processor
will determine the amount that your
family can afford to pay for
educational expenses. They will
consider income, expenses, assets,
and any special circumstances. The
amount of aid for which you are
eligible is calculated by subtracting
the amount you and your family can
contribute (called your Expected
Family Contribution, or EFC) from
the annual cost of your education,
which includes tuition, fees, books,
and living expenses. The difference
between your education expenses
and your EFC is called “need.”
