If you are interested in receiving financial aid, including student loans, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA.
You can complete the FAFSA application at FAFSA.gov or download the MyStudentAid mobile app.
You, and your parent, will need to create a Federal Student Aid user name and password known as an FSA ID. This allows you to sign your FAFSA, view your FAFSA results and access other Federal aid websites.
If you are a New York State resident you will also want to complete the New York State TAP application at the NYSHESC website.
Review Your Student Aid Report
Most students will receive the results of the FAFSA application, known as a Student Aid Report, within 3 – 5 business days. Notices are sent to the email address listed on your FAFSA.
You are encouraged to review your Student Aid Report for accuracy. Errors or omissions should be corrected as soon as possible.
Track Your Financial Aid Status
The Office of Financial Aid will contact you if additional documentation is needed. You can track your Financial Aid Status from your MyECC portal by clicking on the Financial Aid Self-Service link or you may access it directly at selfservice.ecc.edu/student. Here you will find a financial aid checklist of items to be completed, as well as helpful links to resources.
