Your Journey. Our Commitment.

The on-line process makes the financial aid application process easier and faster than ever, but if you still require additional help, our friendly and experienced Financial Aid staff will further guide and assist you. If you would like to make an appointment or receive more information, please call (718) 332-6469.

• Getting Started: Apply for an FSA ID – The beginning point for all federal financial aid starts with applying for a federal FSA ID. The FSA ID is your “electronic signature” for completing all of your financial aid documents on-line. To apply for an FSA ID create a username and password of your choice. You will be asked to confirm your e-mail address using a secure code that will be sent to you. Once you confirm your e-mail address you will be able to log into the FAFSA website using your email address. Once you have decided to pursue a career through an education at E.D.P. School, your email address will be needed in order to complete the next step – completing and signing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Additional information regarding the application for financial aid can be found by clicking this link.

• The On-Line FAFSA Application: The FAFSA form can be completed quickly and easily on the Department of Education’s website. If you’d like to complete the application on you own, we’re certain you’ll find the process easy to understand.  However, if you would like assistance, or have any questions, we are here to help.  Our Financial Aid staff will sit down with you to help you complete the application or answer and questions you may have.

• The information that you provide in the FAFSA application will help the school determine if you are eligible for Federal Financial Aid.

• When completing the FAFSA form, be sure to list E.D.P. School Code as your school choice (Federal School Code #041171) as this will ensure we receive your information in a timely manner.

E.D.P. School provides prospective students with an on-line calculator that provides general estimates of costs and financial aid. These are, of course, only estimates, and your actual financial aid may vary. For actual costs and financial aid information, it is best to speak with our Financial Aid Office. Please give us a call at (718) 332-6469 to learn more.

Federal Student Aid is available to all students who meet the basic eligibility requirements. Federal awards in the form of “grants” are awarded based upon financial need. To qualify for Federal Student Aid, you have to meet certain requirements. For more detailed information regarding Federal Student Aid eligibility, please visit the Federal Student Aid Basic Eligibility Criteria page here.

Upon completion of the application and verification (if required) processes, the Financial Aid Office will prepare a financial aid offer for you based on your eligibility as determined by your FAFSA. Your financial aid offer will list all of the aid for which you are eligible. Your advisor will also discuss timing of your financial aid payments, billing procedures and payment plan options.

Upon completion of the application process and admission into one of our eligible programs, the Financial Aid Office will prepare an offer of financial aid for you based upon your eligibility and financial need. This financial aid offer may include a Federal PELL grant. The Financial Aid Office will meet with you one-on-one to discuss the aid program offered, explain the timing of financial aid disbursements, describe billing and payment procedures, and advise you on alternative financing sources.

Unfortunately, we cannot process any financial aid until all of the required documentation is submitted and reviewed. At times, this process will require us to make changes to your FAFSA data, which can add time to the processing. Therefore, it is important that you submit any documentation as soon as possible. If you have any questions on the process, please contact the Financial Aid Office and they will be happy to assist you.

Using financial aid is a serious responsibility. It is very important that you understand your responsibilities as a recipient of Federal Student Aid, and that you know your rights. E.D.P. School has assembled a Rights & Responsibilities webpage to ensure that you completely understand these important concepts.
