Steps to Apply for Financial Aid

Step 1.  New students must apply for admissions to SPC

New students must be accepted into SPC before financial aid is awarded. Apply for admission to SPC as soon as possible.

Step 2.  Get A PIN Now!!! (if you do not already have one)

Your PIN is your electronic signature for FAFSA on the web.  If you are a dependent student, your parent(s) should request their PIN number(s) also so they can electronically sign your FAFSA.  Apply for PIN numbers at: www.pin.ed.gov.

Step 3.  Fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)

Submit the online FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov.  

• Submit the FAFSA as soon as possible starting January 1
• List SPC’s school code – 003611
