Starting Your CMN Journey > Financial Aid

Hensci Cokv Hecvlke! (Welcome Students!)

A college education is an investment in your future, and financial aid is available to help manage the cost. One of the most important steps you can take to find grants and scholarships is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). We have some handy tips that will help you complete the FAFSA and start down the road to success!

Complete the FAFSA as soon as it’s available every year to meet certain deadlines.

Never pay to complete the FAFSA — the first letter in FAFSA stands for FREE!

Step 1

Create a FSA ID

Complete a U.S. Department of Education FSA ID Registration if you do not have an FSA ID to use for your electronic signature.

 

  • An FSA ID is a username and password that you must use to log in to certain U.S. Department of Education (ED) websites. Your FSA ID identifies you as someone who has the right to access your own personal information on ED websites such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
  • You will need your social security number, mobile phone number and/or email address.

Step 2

Gather Documents
  •  Social Security card.
  • W-2 forms and tax returns specified on the FAFSA. Current balance of cash, checking and savings accounts.
  • Determine your dependency status with our Dependency Questionnaire. If you’re a dependent student, you’ll also need your parents’ financial information.

Step 3

File your FAFSA

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) FAFSA website. CMN school code is 042249 (you will use your FSA ID and password to log in)

FAFSA application opens October 1st for the following academic year.

JANUARY 15TH IS THE FAFSA PRIORITY FILING DEADLINE FOR OKLAHOMAs certain state aid (OTAG/OKLAHOMA PROMISE).

Step 4

Student Aid Report (SAR)

Review the Student Aid Report

  • After completing FAFSA you will receive conformation email though the email you provided on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This email will include a link to your Student Aid Report (SAR).
  • Review the SAR and make any corrections (if needed).
  • Your SAR will have the Estimated Family Contribution.
