Financial aid can help you achieve your personal training goals and help build on your personal and professional career skills.

 

 Applying for Financial Aid

To apply for federal student financial aid and other state student aid programs, students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The information you provide on your FAFSA determines if you are eligible for financial aid. Visit the FAFSA website at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ to file your FAFSA form. When filling out the FAFSA for an Eastland-Fairfield Adult training program, you must use the school code assigned to Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools. That code is 016975. 

In order to complete your FAFSA, you will need to apply for a PIN number that  you will use as your electronic signature. Apply for your PIN at http://pin.ed.gov.
