Federal Aid (FAFSA)

Several financial aid programs are available to help students offset the cost of attendance at York College. These programs may include:

• Federal Grants (such as Pell Grants)

• Aid for Part-Time Study

• Federal Work-Study

• Veterans Benefits

• Federal Student Loans

• Scholarships
  

To be considered for federal financial aid, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The FAFSA application is completely free. When applying, be cautious and ensure you are using only the official U.S. Department of Education website.

Be aware of third-party websites that may attempt to charge a fee to complete the FAFSA. You should never have to pay to submit your application.

2025–2026 FAFSA Dealines

Priority Deadlines to Submit Verification Documentation

For the 2025–2026 FAFSA, students must:

• Be registered for the term in which they are submitting documentation

• Fully submit all required verification documents by the deadline associated with their last term of attendance.

Term Deadlines

• Summer 2025: August 31, 2025

• Fall 2025: December 1, 2025

• Spring 2026: May 16, 2026

 The 2026–2027 FAFSA is now available. All students are encouraged to apply for financial aid every year by completing the FAFSA.

Important Federal Processing Deadline: Federal regulations prohibit the college from processing a FAFSA after a student’s last date of enrollment. Students who did not file a FAFSA for the 2025–2026 academic year and who are no longer enrolled may have missed the deadline to be considered for Federal Student Aid programs for that year.
