How to Apply for Federal Financial Aid

You can apply as early as December, and you do not need to wait to be admitted to SMC to apply. To be given full consideration, you must apply by March 2.

Create your FSA ID username and password at fsaid.ed.gov (opens in new window) . To expedite the financial aid process, have your parent create one also.
Once you receive your PIN, go to the Federal Student Aid website (opens in new window) to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Santa Monica College’s Federal School Code is 001286.
When the FAFSA is sent to the Federal Processor, this information is put through the eligibility-determining formula and an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is calculated. A Student Aid Report (SAR) on financial aid eligibility will be mailed to you.
