Financial Aid Information

 

The decision to invest in your future by attending college is one of the most important choices you will ever make. DXATC’s educational costs can be paid for with a combination of cash payments, federal need and/or non-need-based aid, and other programs available to those who qualify. The Financial Aid Office is prepared to assist in determining which types of aid you "may" be eligible to receive, as well as in providing the information required by your other programs or sponsors.

TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID

1. You must be enrolled as a matriculated student before any formal offer for financial assistance can be made. In order to be considered a matriculated student you must submit the following:

• A DXATC Registration Form
• A $40 Registration fee payment
• A signed DXATC Enrollment Agreement which includes detailed program data
• Proof of your high school graduation, or GED and Official College Transcript(s) (if    transferring credit hours)  

 

2. To be considered for federal financial aid you must:

• Complete and submit a 2007-2008 DXATC Federal Financial Aid Application (remember to request a PIN NUMBER (PIN Site) to utilize the electronic signature option)

 

    1. Complete and submit the 2007-2008 (FAFSA) Free Application for Federal Student Aid which is available on line (after January 1, 2007) @ www.fafsa.ed.gov (DXATC Title IV CODE is 041217)

• The DXATC priority deadline for the FAFSA is April 1st of the current application year

• Provide DXATC with a valid* student aid report (web generated or printed original)
(*valid EFC with accompanying verification documentation, if required)

 

NOTE: The U.S. Department of Education (USDE) randomly selects federal aid applications for a process called verification. If selected, you and/or your parents will be required to complete a verification worksheet and to submit signed copies of your 2006 federal income tax return(s). These forms will be used for verification purposes only and will be retained within the student financial aid file.

 

3. Satisfactory academic progress (SAP) must be met in order to receive or renew financial assistance. Please refer to the DXATC College catalog for SAP requirements.

Once you have been admitted to DXATC and the Financial Aid Office receives the required items listed above, your file will be reviewed for eligibility for financial assistance. DXATC will begin notification of eligibility to enrolled students in mid-March by mailing a preliminary award estimate letter. Award estimates will not be provided until the Financial Aid Office has received all of the necessary paperwork (including the verification worksheet and tax copies). If you indicate an interest in a student loan program, the loan application will accompany the award letter.

The total amount of grant and loan awards will not exceed the cost of attendance (COA) which may include tuition, loan fees, required books/supplies, estimated room and board, personal, travel and sometimes child care expenses. DXATC designs all initial awards packaging to assist with direct educational costs "only" and requires additional steps when applying for loan proceeds funding.
