STEP ONE: Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
Application for federal and state financial aid is made by completing a congressionally approved needs analysis application. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available January 1 each year in the Meridian Technology Center Financial Aid Office, and at most high schools, colleges and universities. A renewal application will be mailed to students who received aid during the previous year.

If you are an Oklahoma resident, you will also be considered for the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant (OTAG) program. OTAG is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

List Meridian Technology Center as the school you plan to attend in Section G of the FAFSA. The Title IV School Code is 012474.

STEP TWO: Submit the completed FAFSA for processing

• Mail the completed FAFSA form directly to the Federal Student Aid Process Center in the envelope provided by the FAFSA.
  OR
• Bring your completed FAFSA to the Financial Aid Office at Meridian Technology Center for electronic submission.
  OR
  
• Complete your FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov

STEP THREE: Wait for a Response
Depending upon the method utilized to submit the FAFSA, a Student Aid Report will be provided to you in approximately 3-6 weeks. Additional information may be requested to complete your financial aid file.

STEP FOUR: Award Notification
The Financial Aid Office can give you an estimate of your Pell Grant award once your financial aid file has been completed. You and your family may use this letter to begin to develop a plan for paying your educational expenses. Official award letters are sent when you have completed the enrollment process.
