STUDENTS CAN APPLY FOR FINANCIAL
AID FOR FALL 2005 NOW

All financial aid applicants must complete the Request for Financial Assistance Form located in the Semester in London information packet and immediately forward it to the Citrus College Financial Aid Office.

If you have applied for financial aid for the 2005-2006 school year, please be sure Citrus College is listed on your Student Aid Report (SAR). If Citrus is not listed, you must add Citrus College to your application. You should go online (www.fafsa.ed.gov) or call the processor at 1(800) 433-3243 and add Citrus College, school code #001166. You must then forward sealed copies of official academic transcripts from every college attended to: Citrus College, Admissions and Records Office, ATTN: Judy Gorden/Semester Abroad.

If you are a Cal Grant recipient, it is your responsibility to submit a ‘Grant Record Change Form For Students’ (G-10 form) to CSAC (California Student Aid Commission) indicating the semester you will be changing to Citrus College. You must also submit the school change back to your home school for the following semester. Students who fail to notify CSAC may lose their Cal Grant eligibility.

If you have not applied for financial aid for 2005-2006 and you want financial assistance, you need to complete the 2005-2006 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can obtain the FAFSA from the financial aid office on your campus or file the FAFSA electronically through the Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov/. Do not forget to mail in the printed, signed certification sheet when filing electronically. Your application will be invalid without the signed certification. Be sure to list Citrus College Title IV Code #001166 on the FAFSA.

All students attempting to receive financial aid must complete a Citrus College Application for Admission. Students who are attempting to receive financial aid must submit all supporting documents requested to complete their file in a timely manner. Citrus College Financial Aid Office will send Award Letters and loan applications to students after all documents are received and verified.

Do not delay completing applications, forms, and responding to our letters requesting further information, or you may jeopardize your chances for receiving an award letter by the deadline.

PAYMENT POLICY

All students must submit the $450 deposit with the completed AIFS application. If you plan to participate in the optional European pre-tour or the optional mid-term Scotland tour, you must enclose a $50 non-refundable deposit for each tour.

Students who are not receiving financial aid are required to pay their program fees according to the AIFS payment schedule listed on the AIFS application. Each student will receive an invoice from AIFS.

Students receiving financial aid are responsible for paying pre-departure fees which include the airfare; airline-imposed taxes, fees, and any fuel surcharges; $250 damage deposit; and $600 of the balance. Financial aid students are also responsible for paying any single room surcharges, tour deposits, and any portion of the balance that will not be covered by their financial aid award. The remaining balance will be paid to AIFS according to financial aid disbursement dates. If your file is not complete or loans are not guaranteed, you will be required to pay AIFS any fees not covered.
