Marva Collins Financial Aid Office sets deadlines^ requirements Employees in the Financial Aid Office are working to finalize the present award year 1984-85, while preparing for the summer sessions and the academic year 1985-86. For the academic year 1985-86, all students apply ing for Hnancial aid will be required to complete either the FFS/ACT, FAF/CSS or the GAPSFAS (Graduate and Professional School Financial Aid Service). In order to determine a student’s eligibility for aid, the financial aid application must be received as early as possible, regardless as to whether it’s a PELL, SEOG, NSL, C-WS, NDSL, GSL, orLSAAP, in order to allow adequate processing time. Students are also requested to mail applications for financial aid to ACT, CSS or GAPSFAS no later than April 15, so the results can be received by May 15. Funds are limited and those applicants whose in formation is in early and is complete will have first consideration for aid. North Carolina residents who wish to apply for the North Carolina Student Incentive Grant Program (NCSIG) for 1985-86 should file in time for the ap plications to reach College Foundation by March 15, 1985. College Foundation, Inc. (CFI) has several deadlines: April 15—GSL application must reach CFI by this date to be considered for a loan for Sum mer School; June 15—GSL application must reach CFI by this date in order for loan to be approved by Fall ‘85 registration. If you are a recipient of a GSL for 1984-85, be sure to attend one of the Borrower’s Conferences held by College foundation, Inc.
