How to Receive Financial Aid

New Students

1. Complete your application for admission.
2. Make sure your application file is complete (check with the Admissions Office).
3. You must fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
   For this, do one of these:
   • Stop by the campus or your high school guidance office and pick up the FAFSA form, or:
   • Go to the FAFSA website at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and fill out the form online.
     (Be sure to have you and your parents appropriate tax information available when filling out the form. Roane State's Title IV School Code is 009914.)
4. Pay close attention to the state aid filing deadlines – this could effect the lottery scholarship.

Identity Theft

In order to protect students from Identity Theft, the Financial Aid Office has implemented the following policy. If a student calls in requesting information about their file (example: forms needed to complete their file, holds, etc.) they will be instructed to log-in to RaiderNet, select the Student tab and then select the Financial Aid link. Only generic information will be given out over the phone. If a student comes into the Financial Aid Office, prior to us providing any information, we must see a photo ID.  Click here for more information about Identity Theft.
