How to Apply
Students applying for federal aid using FAFSA on the
Web will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR)
Information Acknowledgment within 10 to 14 days of
submitting the application. Students applying using
the paper version of the FAFSA will receive a SAR
within 3 – 5 weeks of mailing the application. The
GMC Financial Aid Office will receive the
information electronically. Eligibility for Title IV aid
is based on the information on the SAR, so the
student should review it carefully. If any information
is incorrect, the student should follow the instructions
included with the form to make necessary corrections.
Verification is a process used to check the accuracy of
the information that a student and/or parent gives when
applying for financial aid. The GMC Financial Aid
Office will notify the student if selected for verification
by the federal processor and will request certain
documentation in order to complete the verification
process. Until the verification process is complete, no
Federal Funds may be released to the student.
D. Once the file is complete, the student will be notified
of eligibility and the amount of aid available through
an award letter. If aid has been denied the student will
also be advised by mail.

Initial Steps
|
- Submit an Application for Admission to Georgia
Military College.
- Complete and submit a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for federal student
financial aid and to apply for some state and college
aid. Applying online with FAFSA on the Web at
www.fafsa.ed.gov is faster and easier than using a
paper FAFSA.
- Apply Faster - Sign the FAFSA with a U.S.
Department of Education PIN. You can apply for a
PIN at www.pin.ed.gov before beginning FAFSA on
the Web. The PIN will be received within a few days,
and then the FAFSA may be signed electronically
when the FAFSA is submitted. If providing parent
information, one parent must sign the FAFSA. To sign
electronically, the parent can also apply for a PIN at
www.pin.ed.gov.
- To receive consideration for state aid, complete the
electronic version of the Tuition Equalization Grant
application (E-TEG) by logging onto
www.GACollege411.org.
