Application process

There are two methods students may use when applying for financial aid. Students need to complete only ONE application processing method.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
All students may apply for financial aid at the FAFSA website from the U.S. Department of Education (DOE). The processing time generally is one to two weeks faster than with the paper FAFSA.
- Upon completing the application, students and parents may sign with their PIN numbers. If not, students must print the signature page, affix the appropriate signatures, and mail to the Central Processing Center. Upon receipt of the signature page, the Central Processing Center will perform the calculation to determine the student’s financial aid eligibility.
- Students must be sure to enter their correct Social Security number.
- Within one to three weeks, students should receive a response document, referred to as the Student Aid Report (SAR).
- PHCC’s school code is 010652
- Applicants should contact the nearest PHCC financial aid office once the Student Aid Report is received.
FAFSA renewal
Students who receive a personal identification number (PIN) from the DOE may complete their renewal FAFSA online.
- PINs will remain the same from year to year; therefore, students who request and receive a PIN number to access their 2008-2009 renewal FAFSA on the web can use the same PIN to access their 2009-2010 Renewal FAFSA on the web. Web filing is free and secure and the processing time generally is one to two weeks faster than with the paper application.
- Students must be sure to enter their correct Social Security number.
- The PIN number serves as an electronic signature. If you are required to submit your parent(s)’s information, your PIN number can not serve as your parent’s signature; your parents will need to apply for their own PIN number.
- Within one to three weeks, students should receive a response document, referred to as the Student Aid Report (SAR).
- Students should contact the nearest PHCC financial aid office once the Student Aid Report is received.
