How do I re-apply for financial aid?
Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and the Monterey Institute of International Studies' institutional financial aid application.  The Monterey Institute of International Studies Title IV code for the FAFSA is 001241.

When do I re-apply for financial aid?
You should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) after January 1st and prior to March 15th.  You must re-apply each year in order to receive financial aid.

Can I complete the FAFSA if I have not yet completed my taxes?
Yes.  You may estimate income information in order to complete the FAFSA.  Be sure to update this information after your taxes have been completed.

Is my file complete?  Have I turned everything in?
You can check on the status of your application checking the Nconcert website.

Do I have to apply for financial aid each year?
Yes.  Your financial situation must be reassessed each year.

I know I filled out a FAFSA and sent it in at least four weeks ago, but I have not received a Student Aid Report (SAR).  What should I do?
Call the US Department of Education's Public Inquiry Contractor: 1-800-4FED-AID (1-800-433-3243) or check on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

What is an Expected Family Contribution?
This is the amount that the federal government has determined you can contribute to your education throughout the year.

How will I know if the Office of Student Financial Planning (OSFP) needs something from me?
The OSFP will send an e-mail directing students to return to the Nconcert website, where any required forms or documentation will be listed as ‘incomplete’ or ‘required’.  Once the Individual Student Aid Report (ISAR) is transmitted from the US Department of Education, any documentation required will be posted via the Nconcert website.

Am I required to attend student loan exit counseling before I leave school?
Yes. Because exit counseling helps you manage your debt, it is required when you end an academic program for any reason.
