Too many students
worry, before they have even begun the financial aid application process,
that they cannot afford college. The earlier you apply for financial aid,
the sooner Calumet College of St. Joseph can send you a financial aid
award letter. For many students, their financial aid award letter will help them
decide which college to attend. Keep in mind that in addition to your CCSJ financial
aid package, we offer the lowest tuition of any private four-year college
in the state of Indiana.
The financial aid application process:
- Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at fafsa.ed.gov. Be sure to add the CCSJ School Code: 001834. You can file the FAFSA as early as January 1.
- Once your FAFSA is submitted, the Federal Processor will forward your information to the Office of Financial Aid at CCSJ and you will receive an award letter in the mail indicating the type(s) of aid you qualify for
- If you have been selected for verification, you will also receive a letter in the mail informing you of what documentation the Office of Financial Aid needs from you. It is important to submit all documents as soon as possible.
- If you would like to accept your student loans, complete a CCSJ on-line loan application. First-time CCSJ students also need to complete entrance counseling and a master promissory note.
- Once you are registered, your verification is completed (if necessary), and you have completed the loan steps (if you wish to accept your loan), your financial aid award letter will show that your aid is finalized and ready to be credited to your account
