Helpful Financial Aid Tips

 

  • You must reapply for aid EVERY YEAR.
  • Put the student's name and social security number on all documents submitted to our office.
  • Keep a copy of all documents related to your financial aid.
  • Keep a record of all previous loans, including promissory notes and disclosure statements.
  • Notify the financial aid office of any scholarships, grants or alternative loans you expect to receive outside of CQU.
  • Filing the FAFSA: most mistakes are made because students and/or parents either don't follow or don't understand the application instructions.  While few errors will cause you to have to start all over, most errors will significantly delay the processing of either your FAFSA at the federal level, your award at the college level, or both. Please read the instructions that accompany the application. If you are not clear on a question, please take the time to call the Federal Student Aid Information Centre at 1-800-4-FED AID (1-800-433-3243 ). The few extra minutes it takes could save you weeks of delays!
