To apply for federal financial aid you must meet the following criteria: Have earned a high school diploma or High School Equivalency Diploma; Be a US citizen or eligible non-citizen; Have a valid social security number; Be registered with Selective Service if required; Maintain satisfactory academic progress.
Student and at least one parent (if student is unmarried and under 24 years of age) must apply for an
FSA ID

Once an FSA ID number(s) has been obtained, complete and submit your FAFSA online.
If you are completing your FAFSA to obtain financial aid at OCVTS, you will need to provide our
Federal School Code: 016934
in order for us to receive your application and determine your eligibility.
