Loan counseling

Loan exit counseling is required:

Prior to graduation
If a student withdraws entirely from classes
If a student transfers to another school, or
If a student drops below half-time enrollment

Students may complete their loan exit counseling at one of the sessions offered at the end of each semester or by visiting the EdFund Loan Portal. Exit counseling is also available on the lender’s website. It is advisable to learn about managing repayment obligations and options before repayment begins.

Forms and publications
Students may download most forms from www.sciarc.edu. The financial aid office supplies paper versions of forms and publications upon request. Faxed forms and/or documents are accepted.

Students who apply after the March 2nd deadline may endanger their eligibility for grants, work-study and scholarships. Students who plan to enroll for the summer term and wish to receive financial aid must complete all parts of their financial aid application by April 15.

The FAFSA will be available for completion on January 1. Students may complete the FAFSA prior to filing their federal income tax by selecting the "Will Complete" option on the tax information page of the FAFSA and estimating your tax information. Students may use their W-2s or federal income tax forms to assist them with their estimation. They will need to update their tax information on the FAFSA and submit a signed copy of their recent federal income tax forms to the financial aid office once the return has been filed.
