🌟Important Notice: Updates on Financial Aid Support🌟

Great news! We are working hard and making progress on getting aid applications reviewed and awarded for the 2024-25 school year. 

💰Winter Quarter Aid:
If you're enrolled for Winter classes, we're prioritizing your financial aid to ensure you're supported for the upcoming quarter. To avoid having your classes dropped due to non-payment, applications submitted before October 31st will receive a Tuition Deferred hold. Our team is working quickly to process your Winter aid so you can focus on your academic goals.

🔍To Do List:
Need to check if anything is required from you? Head to the "Tasks" section on your ctcLink home page for any updates. We’re continuously working to update the To Do List items, so please be aware it may take 5-7 business days for your submitted items to show as completed. Not everyone will need to submit additional documents, but if you do, we’ll notify you promptly once we receive your aid application.

📋FAFSA and WASFA Help:
Need assistance with your FAFSA or WASFA application for the 2024-25 or 2025-26 school years? We’ll be hosting help events at SA149 during the following times:

  • January 8, 10am - 12pm
  • January 15, 10am - 12pm
  • January 22, 10am - 12pm
  • January 29, 10am - 12pm

If you are unable to attend our FAFSA/WASFA workshop, you may schedule an appointment for FAFSA/WASFA application assistance here: FAFSA/WASFA Appointments

This link is only to make appointments for help with completing the FAFSA or WASFA aid application. We cannot answer questions about the status of your aid. For that, you will need to contact the general Green River College Financial Aid Office. Our contact details are below, and you may contact us via phone, email, or visiting us during front desk hours. 

❄️Winter Availability:
During Winter quarter, expect our office to reply to emails within 7-10 business days. Please note that our office will close for phone support from December 16th to December 27th. We will resume regular phone hours after that break. Here’s how you can reach us:

WELCOME TO FINANCIAL AID

We believe that every student should have access to higher education, regardless of economic background. Finances should not be a barrier to getting the education you want. Whatever you plan to study, you're in the right place to explore the many scholarship, grant, loan and work study options available that help make paying for college as affordable as possible.
