FAFSA/WAFSA Support

Student Aid Support

Nearly 60 percent of all TCC students receive some kind of financial aid to help pay for school. We have support to help you apply and find out if you are eligible.

FAFSA

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form is an application for federal student aid. You need to complete the FAFSA form to apply for federal student aid such as federal grants, work-study funds, and loans. Completing and submitting the FAFSA form is free and easier than ever, and it gives you access to federal student aid—the largest source of aid— to help you pay for college or career/trade school

We can help with:

  • Assistance creating a StudentAid.gov account
  • Assistance filling out application

WAFSA

The Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA) is for people who don’t file a federal FAFSA application. If you have completed the FAFSA, you have already applied for federal and state financial aid and do not need to complete the WASFA unless your college asks you to. A person should complete the WASFA if they are undocumented or do not qualify for federal financial aid because of their immigration status.

We can help with:

  • Assistance creating a WAFSA account
  • Assistance filling out application

To Prepare for Your Visit

The following documents may be helpful for filling out either application (if applicable)

  • Your parents’ SSNs if they have SSNs and you're a dependent student
  • Tax returns
  • Records of child support received
  • Current balances of cash, savings, and checking accounts
  • Net worth of investments, businesses, and farms

Please review important Financial Aid information and deadlines.
