Apply for Financial Aid
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also known as the FAFSA, is your application for all federal, state, and need-based financial aid at Greensboro College. Students are required to complete the FAFSA each year to apply for financial aid.
The FAFSA form is available online at StudentAid.gov. Students are required to create a unique StudentAid.gov username to fill out the FAFSA. If you are less than 24 years old, your parent must provide information on your FAFSA and your parent will also need to create a StudentAid.gov username.
Greensboro College’s School Code for the FAFSA is 002930.
