Financial Aid Award Process

Financial Aid awards will be made after the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) results are sent to the college by the government processor and the entire financial aid application process has been completed. If a student’s record is selected for verification (a review of the FAFSA data), all required documentation and corrected Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) information must be received before the application process is complete.

An Award Letter notification is sent to each student who completes the application process and for whom aid eligibility can be determined. The Award Letter notification contains the names and amounts of the financial aid awards the student is eligible to receive. Important information about restrictions and conditions that can affect the ability of the students to receive the amounts awarded is available on the Dallas College website. When a student’s award package is available for review, the student will be notified by e-mail to log on to eConnect to accept the terms and conditions of the Award Letter and to activate the awards for payment. You must go to the financial aid checklist to review and accept your financial aid awards.
