A. Yes. A FAFSA form is required annually for the Pell, TSAC, Lottery and other similar funds. FAFSA information can be completed beginning in January for aid to be disbursed in the fall semester. Sometimes students are selected for verification by the Federal Department of Education. We recommend that copies of your signed tax return and W-2 forms be available to someone handling your finances while you are out of the country. If you are selected for verification, we cannot disburse any aid until the verification is complete.
