3 ¿De qué vamos a hablar hoy?
Fuente y tipos de ayuda financiera Solicitudes requeridas para ayuda financiera Cómo llenar la solicitud gratuita de ayuda financiera federal para estudiantes (Free Application Federal Student Aid, FAFSA) Respuestasa preguntas individuales At today’s workshop, we will discuss: -the types and sources of financial aid -the financial aid application forms you will need to complete -tips for completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid - often called the FAFSA. Finally, we will provide you with an opportunity to get individual help in completing your FAFSA. Each of you should have two forms for use later in this session: - the on-line Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA on the Web Worksheet) and - (any state-specific application forms) If you do not have copies of these forms, please raise your hand so we can get them to you. NOTE TO PRESENTERS: If you decide not to cover the financial aid overview information contained in Slides 4-8, be sure to hide these slides and adjust the text of this slide (#3) to delete the reference to “Types and Sources of Financial Aid.”

4 Tipos de ayuda Ayudas gratuitas - Becas que no necesitan pagarse
Trabajo - Dinero que ganas como pago por un trabajo dentro o fuera del campus Préstamos - Dinero prestado que hay que devolver, normalmente con interés There are three major types of financial aid – grants and scholarships, work-study, and educational loans. Grants and scholarships are gift aid that does not need to be repaid. Grants are usually based on the student’s financial need. Scholarships are generally based on talent and/or merit. While there are a number of grants and scholarships available to (your state) students, the (your state) grants/scholarships are an example of gift aid based on need (and/or) merit. We will discuss state grants in more detail later in the presentation. (Presenters, adjust this paragraph as appropriate for your state). Work-Study programs provide opportunities for students to earn money to help pay for school expenses. Both parents and students can borrow from a variety of low interest loan programs designed to help with the educational expenses of the student. Federal student loans do not require repayment until the student is no longer in school at least half-time. Parent loans may require payment while the student is still in school.

5 Fuentes de ayuda financiera
Gobierno federal Gobierno estatal Facultades y universidades Agencias, compañías, fundaciones privadas y los empleadores de tus padres By completing the financial aid applications and any other documents required by the colleges and universities to which you, the student, are applying, you may be considered for funds from: - the federal government - your state government - colleges and universities themselves Private agencies, companies, foundations, and maybe even the student’s parents’ employers provide scholarships for college, though these sources provide less than 6% of the total financial aid awarded to students. Check with each of the private agencies, companies, and foundations to which you wish to apply about their application forms, deadlines, and other requirements. Web sites such as are good resources for such scholarships.

6 Ayudas estatales Casi todos los 50 estados tienen algún tipo de beca especial o ayuda para préstamos para los residentes de dichos estados. Algunos estados usan los datos que proporcionas en la FAFSA para otorgar las ayudas; otros estados pueden requerir que se entreguen formularios adicionales. El consejero de tu escuela debe tener los formularios apropiados para la solicitud de tu estado. Si estos formularios no están disponibles en tu escuela, ponte en contacto directamente con la agencia para educación superior de tu estado. Almost all 50 states have some form of special grant or loan aid for their state residents. Some states use the data the student provides on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to award their aid. Others states may require the student to submit supplemental forms that are processed directly by the state’s higher education agency The student’s school counselor should have the correct form(s) for the state’s application. If the forms are not available at the school, contact the state higher education agency directly, or search for them on-line.

7 Elegibilidad para ayuda estatal
(insert eligibility criteria for your state aid if appropriate; otherwise, delete slide) Let’s talk about (your state) aid programs. Note to presenters: If your state has one or more state aid programs, describe at this point in the presentation.

8 Requisitos para solicitar ayuda estatal en 2010-2011
Antes del (insert date), llena y envía : La solicitud gratuita de ayuda federal para estudiantes (The Free Application for Federal Student Aid) (Insert the name of your state form if applicable) Note to presenter: At this point, you should describe the process for applying for state aid in your state. If no special state forms (or no state program), adjust or delete slide. Para obtener información más detallada sobre cómo entregar cualquier otro formulario adicional requerido, el estudiante debe preguntar a la escuela secundaria o consejero universitario

9 Tipos de solicitudes FAFSA
(Insert required state forms, if any) Otras solicitudes o formularios exigidos por la facultad, como: PERFIL para ayuda financiera CSS There are a number of important financial aid forms: -The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required by all colleges and universities for the awarding of federal and state aid. Everyone should complete the FAFSA. In some instances, a school may use the FAFSA for institutional aid as well. Students and their families must complete the FAFSA on the Web (FOTW). We will discuss the FAFSA on the Web in greater detail in just a few minutes. -As previously mentioned, in order to be considered for state aid, students must also (list any application requirements for your state’s aid programs). -Many private or independent colleges and universities use the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE to determine eligibility for their own funds. -Some colleges or universities may require their own scholarship or financial aid applications in addition to the FAFSA. The additional forms may collect information not requested on the FAFSA (such as medical and dental expenses and special family circumstances). These forms help the institution award its own funds. These forms must be returned to the college or university directly. -As noted earlier, many employers, organizations, and community-based agencies offering scholarships may require students to complete separate applications and require other forms or information. -Many colleges will request copies of student and parent 2009 federal tax returns and other income documentation. We suggest you and your parents complete your 2009 federal income tax forms as soon as possible. Make sure you keep copies of these forms, schedules, and W-2’s. -Also be sure to submit any required applications or requested documents by the published deadlines. At many institutions, failure to meet a deadline may jeopardize student eligibility for grants and other types of aid. We cannot emphasize this enough – don’t miss out by missing a deadline. Solicitud de beca institucional y/o ayuda financiera Declaración de impuestos federal del año 2009 (junto con los anexos y los W-2s) u otra documentación de ingresos

10 Información y consejos sobre FAFSA
Envía la solicitud lo antes posible Si no están listos los impuestos en el momento de la entrega de la FAFSA, usa la información de la estimación de ingresos del año 2009 El estudiante y al menos uno de sus padres cuya información se reporta deben llenar y firmar la FAFSA It is important to submit the FAFSA as early as possible, but no later than (insert any state specific deadline dates, if appropriate). Students should also check with the colleges and universities to which they plan to apply for admission to make sure they submit the FAFSA by those deadlines. Remember, families should report estimated 2009 student and parent income information if the 2009 federal income tax forms have not been completed at the time the FAFSA is submitted. There will be plenty of time to make corrections at a later date. The student and at least one parent whose information is required for the FAFSA must complete and sign the FAFSA. Note To Presenters: If there are independent students in the audience, you might want to clarify that they will only need to supply their information and that of their spouse if they are married. It might be a little difficult to introduce this difference now since you will be dealing with dependent vs. independent students later in the presentation.

11 FAFSA EN LA WEB Solicitud por Internet que los estudiantes y padres utilizan para completar la FAFSA electrónica en Capacidad de edición avanzada y lógica de exclusión para reducir la probabilidad de que se cometan errores Ayuda en línea disponible para cada pregunta El estudiante y al menos uno de los padres con custodia deberán obtener un PIN federal en There are several advantages to submitting the FAFSA using FAFSA on the Web: The primary benefit of using FAFSA on the Web is that the processing time is significantly reduced. Students and schools receive a response from the federal processor more quickly, which in turn assists schools in preparing a more timely notification of eligibility. (This is a definite advantage if you are trying to decide between two or more schools). Fewer errors on the form. Built-in edit checks will not allow the family to go to the next section if something is left incomplete in a prior section. Before submitting the FAFSA, the program will do a final review of the entire application, checking for missing and/or conflicting information. Thanks to skip logic, there are fewer questions to complete. This means that you will not be asked questions that do not apply to you. (Example: unmarried students will not be asked questions about their spouse.) In many cases, drop down boxes are provided so the family can choose from a selection of responses, rather than having to find choices as in the paper FAFSA booklet. As soon as the FAFSA on the Web is submitted, a confirmation page can be printed to verify instantly that the application has been submitted. This page will contain a Confirmation Stamp showing the date and time that the FAFSA was successfully submitted. To take full advantage of FAFSA on the Web, remember that both the student and at least one of his or her custodial parents must have a federal PIN.

12 Solicita HOY MISMO tu PIN en www.pin.ed.gov
PIN federal El PIN (número de identificación personal) sirve como firma electrónica en los documentos ED Tanto el estudiante como al menos uno de los padres con custodia necesitan un PIN para firmar la FAFSA en forma electrónica Se puede usar para : Revisar el estatus de la FAFSA Verificar y corregir los datos de la FAFSA Añadir escuelas adicionales que desees que reciban los datos de la FAFSA Cambiar la dirección postal o de correo electrónico Si se proporciona una dirección de correo electrónico, el PIN se enviará por correo electrónico al solicitante unas horas después Solicita HOY MISMO tu PIN en The PIN (or personal identification number) serves as an electronic signature for U.S. Department of Education documents, including the FAFSA. The PIN works like the special number you might have for an ATM card. It identifies the student or parents as those authorized to file an electronic FAFSA. If the student or parents have not yet applied for a PIN, the student and at least one custodial parent whose information is required on the FAFSA should go to the PIN website at Students and parents can also apply for a PIN when completing the FAFSA on the Web, so don’t be concerned if you have not applied for PINs as yet. After applicants (students and one of their parents provide their names, Social Security numbers, and other information on the PIN web site, the U.S. Department of Education will either - the student and parent PINs within hours (if addresses for each are provided) or - Mail the PIN(s) to the student and his or her parent within two weeks if no addresses have been provided.

13 Preparativos Antes de comenzar la FAFSA ten listas tu :
Licencia de conducir del estudiante Tarjeta de registro del estudiante como extranjero (Alien Registration Card) Del estudiante y de padre Tarjetas del Seguro Social Formularios W-2 de 2009 y otros registros de ingresos Declaración de impuestos federal de 2009 (aunque no se haya terminado) Registros de ingresos sobre los que no se han pagado impuestos Estados de cuentas bancarias actuales Registros de negocios, granjas y otros bienes raíces Registros de acciones, bonos y otras inversiones Crea una carpeta para guardar copias de todos los documentos de ayuda financiera enviados Here is a list of records families should have available in order to complete the FAFSA. Filling out the FAFSA will be easier and less time-consuming if the student and the family gather these records before going on-line or starting the paper form. Keep in mind that not all families will have all of these records The student will need : -Student driver’s license (if the student has one), and -Student Alien Registration Card (if the student is an eligible non-citizen) Student and parents will need: - Social Security cards - W-2 forms and other records of any money earned in 2009 federal income tax returns (if completed). Remember, 2009 federal tax returns do not need to be completed to apply for student financial aid. It is more important to submit the FAFSA and other aid applications by the published deadlines using estimated data than to wait until 2009 student and parent tax returns are actually completed. - Records of 2009 untaxed income - Current bank statements and real estate records Records of any stocks, bonds, and other investments For future reference, be sure to keep copies of all financial aid documents used to complete the FAFSA, and a copy of the completed FAFSA. Students must reapply each year for financial aid.

14 Hoja de trabajo de FAFSA en la web
La hoja de trabajo de FAFSA en la web puede utilizarse para el período de solicitud de ayuda federal que va del 1º de enero de 2010 hasta el 30 de junio de 2011 In our presentation today, we will focus on how to complete the FAFSA on the Web Worksheet so that you can use it when completing the online FAFSA.

15 La hoja de trabajo de FOTW Una solicitud con cuatro secciones
Sección 1 – es sobre el estudiante Sección 2 – determina el estado de dependencia del estudiante Sección 3 – recoje información de los padres en el caso de estudiantes que dependan de ellos Sección 4 – recoge la situación financiera e información de los estudiantes independientes The FAFSA on the Web Worksheet – referred to as the FOTW Worksheet - is in booklet format. General instructions are on page 1, the FOTW Worksheet is on pages 2 through 4. Sections shaded gray are for students to complete and those shaded purple are for parents. Important contact information can be found in the instructions. Deadline dates are shown for state aid and an explanation of the type of deadline - date received, date postmarked, date processed, etc. States requiring additional forms are marked with an asterisk. Note to presenters: Add any specific state forms and/or deadlines here. The FOTW consists of the following 4 Sections: Section 1 - asks for information about the student--The words “you” and “your”on the Worksheet and the FAFSA on the Web always refer to the student applicant This section also allows the student to have FAFSA data sent to up to ten colleges, universities, and scholarship programs. Section 2 - determines whether the student’s parents must provide financial data on the FAFSA Section 3 – collects data about parents’ 2009 taxed and untaxed income and assets, as well as information about the parents’ household Section 4 – collects data about the student’s 2009 taxed and untaxed income and assets, as well as information about the independent student’s household It is important to note that the FOTW Worksheet does not include every question you will find on the actual FAFSA on the Web site. But it will give you a very good start. We will note some of the questions that are not on the Worksheet as we go through the presentation.

16 Sección 1 (página 2) INFORMACIÓN DEL ESTUDIANTE
Section 1 collects information about the student. The questions on the FAFSA on the Web Worksheet are not numbered, so follow along with the text of the questions.There are more questions on the web site than appear on the Worksheet. We will not cover every question on the FOTW – just those that can be confusing to students and their parents.

17 Sección 1 Nombre del estudiante
J O N E S J A N E Student Name: It is important to list the student’s name exactly as it is listed on the student’s Social Security card. The FAFSA on the Web website will ask for the student’s last name, first name, and middle initial. For example: report Jones, Susan M., not Jones, Suzie, if Susan Marie is shown as the first and middle names on the Social Security card. La FOTW (FAFSA en la web) pide el apellido del estudiante, el primer nombre y la inicial del segundo nombre Asegúrate de ingresar el nombre del estudiante exactamente como aparece en la tarjeta del Seguro Social

18 Sección 1 Número del Seguro Social del estudiante
Revisa cuidadosamente el número del Seguro Social del estudiante cuando lo ingreses en la FOTW. Se verificará que tanto el nombre como el número del Seguro Social del estudiante coincidan con una base de datos nacional The Student’s Social Security Number: We encourage students to refer to a copy of their actual Social Security card to make sure the correct number is reported. A common mistake that parents make is to write their own number or that of another sibling. -To apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) or to get a replacement Social Security card, contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) at (800) , or go to their website at -It is important that both pieces of student data (name and SSN) match the Social Security card exactly because the U.S. Department of Education conducts an electronic match of the student’s name and SSN with the Social Security Administration.

19 Sección 1 Estatus de ciudadanía
Citizenship Status. A student must be a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen to receive federal student financial aid and state grants. If a student has recently become a U.S. citizen, he/she should contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) to update his/her status. Otherwise, when the U.S. Department of Education matches data with SSA, the Agency may report that the student is not a citizen and, therefore, may not be eligible to receive federal and state aid. For financial aid purposes, an eligible noncitizen is someone who meets one of the following: -A U.S. permanent resident who has an Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-551) -A conditional permanent resident with a (I-551C), or -A noncitizen with a departure record (I-94) from the Department of Homeland Security showing any one of the following designations: “Refugee,” “Asylum Granted,” “Parolee,” or “Cuban-Haitian Entrant.” Students who are ineligible for federal or state aid because they are not citizens, permanent residents, or eligible non citizens may still be considered for other institutional aid by some colleges or universities. Therefore, they may wish to complete the FAFSA to apply for that aid. Students who fall into this category are encouraged to contact the schools to which they are applying for admission for additional information. We will provide information about some free scholarship searches for undocumented students in a later slide. Si eres ciudadano de los EE.UU, tu estatus será confirmado por medio de equiparación con el Seguro Social Si eres un extranjero elegible, tu estatus será confirmado por el Departamento de Homeland Security (DHS). Esto incluye: Residentes permanentes de los EE.UU. con el formulario I-551 Residentes permanentes condicionales con el formulario I-551C Extranjeros elegibles con el formulario I-94. Si no eres ni ciudadano ni extranjero elegible, no calificas para solicitar ayuda federal/estatal, pero es posible que seas elegible para fondos estatales o institucionales

20 Número de registro de extranjeros
Sección 1 Número de registro de extranjeros Alien Registration Number. If a student indicates eligible noncitizen, he or she should write in his/her 8- or 9-digit Alien Registration Number. Students should precede an 8-digit number with a zero. Students who list their Alien Registration Number may be asked by the colleges or universities to which they are applying to provide a copy of their Permanent Registration Card. Some recently naturalized citizens may also be asked to provide a copy of their Naturalization documents. It is legal to photocopy these documents for financial aid purposes. Si eres un extranjero elegible, escribe tu número de registro de extranjeros (Alien Registration Number, ARN) de ocho o nueve dígitos Si el ARN tiene ocho dígitos, añade un cero como primer dígito La oficina de ayuda financiera puede requerir una copia de la tarjeta de residente permanente

21 Sección 1 Estudiantes indocumentados
NOTA: si estás indocumentado o no tienes toda la documentación necesaria Si te estás inscribiendo en facultades o universidades públicas, verifica si cumples los requisitos para pagar costos de matrícula al precio intraestatal verifica con las facultades y universidades para ver si tienen ayuda financiera institucional disponible solicita todas las becas privadas para las que califiques mantente informado sobre los cambios en las leyes federales y estatales con respecto a la elegibilidad de estudiantes indocumentados o parcialmente documentados comienza a averiguar en la escuela elemental, media o secundaria para ver si es posible que los estudiantes más jóvenes se conviertan en residentes permanentes If the student is undocumented or under-documented, he/she should also apply for all private scholarships for which he/she may be eligible check with colleges and universities to see if institutional financial aid is available watch for changes in federal and state laws regarding the eligibility of undocumented or under-documented students If parents have younger children, they should start inquiring in elementary, middle or high school to see if it is possible for the students to become permanent residents. For more information, contact the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF): call (213) For a list of scholarships for undocumented students, go to or Para más información y una lista de becas universitarias ve a

22 Sección 1 Estado civil del estudiante
Student Marital Status In this question, the student is asked about his/her marital status as of the date the FAFSA is completed. If the student checks that he or she is currently married or remarried, he/she will be asked to provide other information about his/her spouse as he/she completes the FAFSA on the Web. However, if the student checks that he or she is single, separated, divorced, or widowed, no questions about a spouse will be asked in the FAFSA on the Web. Remember that this question is asking about the student, not the parents. El estudiante deberá marcar su estado civil correspondiente a la fecha en que complete la FAFSA en la web Si el estudiante es casado o ha vuelto a casarse, se le podrá pedir que proporcione información sobre su cónyuge 22

23 Sección 1 Registro de servicio militar selectivo
Para recibir ayuda federal y estatal, los estudiantes varones entre los 18 a 26 años de edad deben inscribirse en el servicio militar selectivo Responde “Register me” (regístrame) solamente si el estudiante es varón, de edades comprendidas entre 18 y 26, y aún no se ha inscrito. El estudiante también puede registrarse en: Selective Service Registration Male students who are 18 years of age or older must be registered with Selective Service to receive federal and state aid. This information will be confirmed with Selective Service. Some colleges and universities will also require that the student be registered to receive institutional funds. A student should answer “Register me” only if he is: - male, - currently between the ages of (on the day the FAFSA is submitted) and - NOT YET REGISTERED with Selective Service and would like the U.S. Department of Education to register the student with Selective Service. If the student is male, but is 17 years of age or younger at the time the FAFSA is submitted, he should leave the question blank. The student must register with Selective Service when he turns 18. He can do this at the Selective Service Web site, If the student is unsure if he has registered, he may go to this same site to verify his registration status. The following groups of students should leave this Worksheet question blank: -female students -male students who are not yet 18 as of the date the FAFSA is submitted and -male students who have already registered.

24 Sección 1 Criterios para recibir ayuda financiera para estudiantes: condenas por drogas
Si el estudiante nunca asistió a la facultad después de la secundaria, marca “Never attended college” (Nunca asistí a la facultad) Si el estudiante asistió a la facultad después de la secundaria pero nunca recibió subsidios ni préstamos federales, ni participó en programas federales de trabajo y estudio, marca “I have never received federal student aid” (Nunca recibí ayuda financiera federal para estudiantes) Si el estudiante nunca recibió ayuda financiera federal ni ha tenido una condena por drogas, marca “I have never had a drug conviction” (Nunca he tenido una condena por drogas) Student Aid Eligibility Drug Convictions This question asks the student whether he/she has ever received Federal student financial aid for attendance in college. If the student has never attended college since high school, he/she should check, “Never attended college.” If the student has attended college since high school but never received federal student grants, loans or work-study,he/ she should check, “I have never received federal student aid.” If the student has received federal student aid and has never had a drug conviction, check, “I have never had a drug conviction.” If the student does not check one of these statements which match his/her circumstances, he/she will be asked additional questions online.

25 Sección 1 Criterios para recibir ayuda financiera para estudiantes: condenas por drogas
Si el estudiante fue condenado por posesión o venta de drogas ilegales mientras estaba recibiendo ayuda financiera federal para estudiantes, se le pedirá que responda a más preguntas sobre el delito relacionado con drogas El haber tenido una condena por drogas no implica automáticamente que el estudiante quede excluido de la posibilidad de recibir ayuda financiera federal o estatal para estudiantes If the student has been convicted of possessing or selling illegal drugs while enrolled in college and receiving federal student aid, he/she may still be eligible to receive federal, state, and college financial aid. In this case, the student should complete the Drug Question Worksheet, and submit it as instructed.

26 Sección 1 Nivel educativo de los padres
Parents’ Education Level These questions are used for some state aid purposes and by some schools to help measure a student’s disadvantaged background. The answers do not affect eligibility for federal student aid. Enter the highest grade level completed by the student’s father and mother. Father and mother in these questions mean birth or adoptive parents, not legal guardians, stepparents, or foster parents. Note that this definition of parents is unique to these two questions. In addition, some states and colleges use the answers to these questions to determine if the student is the first member of his or her family to attend college. This may make a difference in the type and amount of aid received because some schools offer additional aid to students who are the first in their family to go to college. NOTE TO PRESENTERS: Discuss the difference between “completed” versus “attended.” For example, if the mother completed an AA degree at a community college, she would mark “High school” because she has not completed a four-year college degree program. Also, if parents completed the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree or higher in a foreign country, they mark “College or beyond.” Indica el nivel educativo más alto que tus padres biológicos o adoptivos han terminado Utiliza la información de tus padres biológicos o adoptivos, y no los de padrastros ni padres de adopción temporal Esta definición de padres es única para estas dos preguntas

27 Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo:
Sección 1 Estado de residencia legal del estudiante Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo: Estado de residencia legal del estudiante “Residencia” tiene relación con el estado en el que se encuentra la residencia permanente del estudiante si eres dependiente, el estado de residencia legal es normalmente el estado en el que vive el(los) padre(s) que tiene tu custodia El estado de residencia legal también se usa para determinar elegibilidad para las becas estatales en el cálculo de necesidad para determinar la concesión apropiada de impuestos estatales y de otro tipo pagados por los residentes del estado Student State of Legal Residence: As we mentioned earlier, not all important questions are on the Worksheet. We will introduce each of these questions with “An important question NOT on the Worksheet” in red print. Residency relates to the student’s permanent home state. If the student is dependent, the state of legal residence is usually the state in which the custodial parents live. The state of legal residence is used in the calculation of a student’s financial aid eligibility by determining the appropriate allowance for state and other taxes paid by that state's residents. States have varying criteria for determining whether or not the student is a resident for purposes of state financial aid. For FAFSA on the Web, students will be asked about residence in the state that they list as part of their permanent address. All states consider students who are U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens to be residents of that state if they have lived there for at least five years. If the student has lived in the state for less than five years, he/she will be asked to provide the date he/she became a resident of that state.

28 Sección 1 Estatus de cumplimiento de los estudios secundarios
Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo: Estatus de cumplimiento de los estudios secundarios Cuando el estudiante vaya a comenzar la facultad en el año académico , ¿cuál será su situación en cuanto a haber completado estudios secundarios? Diploma de secundaria Certificado de equivalencia (GED) Instruido en el hogar Ninguna de las opciones anteriores High School Completion Status: This important question is not on the Worksheet. The student should indicate his/her High School Completion Status as of the beginning of the school year. If the student has received (or will receive) a High school diploma, mark that box. If the student has (or will) earn a GED certificate, mark the GED box. If the student has been Home schooled, mark the Home schooled box. Students who have not (or will not) earned a high school equivalency status, should mark, “None of the above.”

29 Sección 1 Año de estudios en 2010-2011
Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo: Año de estudios en Cuando el estudiante comience el año académico , ¿en qué año de estudios estará? Sin asistencia previa a la facultad/1º año Asistencia previa a la facultad/1º año 2º año/sophomore 3º año/junior 4º año/senior 5º año/otros estudios de grado 1º año de formación de posgrado/profesional Continuación de la formación de posgrado/profesional y etapas posteriores Grade Level: If the student is a senior in high school he/she should indicate “Never attended college/1st year.” The student should check this answer even if he/she has taken a college class while enrolled in high school. This is another important question not on the Worksheet. 29

30 Sección 1 Título o certificado propuesto
Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo: Título o certificado En el año académico , ¿para qué titulo o certificado estarás estudiando tú, el estudiante? Algunas opciones son: - 1º título de cuatro años (bachelor) - Título de dos años (formáción técnica o en artes y oficios) - Título de dos años (estudios generales o programa de transferencia) - Título de posgrado o profesional Degree Objective: The student should answer these questions not on the worksheet for the school he or she is most likely to attend. The student should choose his/her most immediate degree objective even if he/she plans to seek an advanced degree (such as a law degree) at a later date. As an example, if the student is planning to attend a community college for an Associate degree in history leading to a transfer degree, he/she should mark the Associate degree (general education or transfer program). If the student is planning to attend a 4-year college in , mark “1st bachelor’s degree.” If the student is unsure of the type of school he/she will attend, mark the “1st bachelor’s degree” box. 30

31 Una pregunta importante que NO está
Sección 1 Nivel de dedicación académica al iniciarse el año académico Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo: Cuando el estudiante comience el año académico , ¿cuál espera que sea su nivel de dedicación académica? - tiempo completo - ¾ del tiempo - medio tiempo - menos de la mitad del tiempo - no sabe Indica el nivel de dedicación planificado del estudiante correspondiente a la facultad a la que sea más probable que asista En caso de duda, indica “tiempo completo” Expected Enrollment Status for the Academic Year: A financial aid administrator will look at the student’s expected enrollment status to help determine costs and financial aid eligibility. If, at a later time, the student’s enrollment status changes, the college may adjust the aid award to reflect this change. If a student is unsure of his or her anticipated enrollment status, the student should mark “full-time.”

32 Sección 1 Trabajo y estudio, préstamos y programa TEACH
Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo: Si el estudiante está interesado en programas de trabajo y estudio (empleos para estudiantes), préstamos para estudiantes o el programa TEACH, marca todas las casillas que corresponda Expresar interés no obliga al estudiante a trabajar ni a sacar préstamos, ni hará que el estudiante pierda subsidios o becas El no marcar las opciones de trabajo y estudio y/o préstamos podría restringir algunas opciones de fondos para préstamos o trabajo y estudio limitados If the student is interested in Work-study (student employment), low interest student loans, or the TEACH Program, he/she should mark all that apply. If interested in:: “work-study,” mark the first box “student loans,” mark the second box, and/or the “TEACH Program,”mark the third box. Marking either of the first or second boxes does not obligate the student either to borrow or work, and it will not cause the student to lose scholarships or grants. Some students think that if they do not mark either of the first two boxes it will mean more grant aid. This is not true! What might happen is that students reduce their options to receive needed loans or work opportunities. Students should consider marking the third box if they plan to become a teacher. The TEACH Program provides grants up to $4,000 per year to students who intend to teach in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low income families.

33 Una pregunta importante que NO está
Sección 1 Selección de la institución educativa Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo: FAFSA en la web permite que el estudiante indique hasta 10 facultades o universidades que recibirán la información sobre el estudiante y sus padres El estudiante deberá incluir las instituciones a las que sea más probable que asista, y luego otras a las que esté solicitando ingreso School Section This very important series of questions is not on the Worksheet. Students may list up to ten schools in Section 1 of FOTW. If students want to send their information to more than ten schools, they can delete and add schools when they receive their electronic SAR Acknowledgement or SAR.

34 Una pregunta importante que NO está
Sección 1 Selección de instituciones educativas Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo: Cuando esté en la sección de selección de instituciones educativas, se le pedirá al estudiante que ingrese el código escolar federal de cada institución a la que desee que se envíen sus datos Si no sabes el código escolar federal, ingresa el estado en el que la facultad/universidad está situada y luego busca el código escolar federal usando el nombre de la facultad/universidad School Section Students will need to use a code for each of the schools they list in Section 1. These codes are not in the FAFSA instructions. Students can look up their school codes when they are completing this section of FOTW. Be sure to use the full name of the college or university to find the correct school code. Please note that this code number is different from the SAT, ACT, and CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE code numbers. It’s important to keep in mind that the U.S. Department of Education's processor will send data to only ten schools at a time for a student. For example, if the student originally listed ten schools on the application and then replaced all ten with new schools by changing his/her SAR, only the second set of ten schools will get data from any subsequent corrections made to the FAFSA data. In this case, the student should alert schools in the first group of any changes. 34

35 Sección 1 Selección de instituciones educativas
Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo: Se le pedirá al estudiante que seleccione el plan de alojamiento que mejor se ajuste al tipo de alojamiento que espera tener mientras asiste a cada una de las instituciones mencionadas Las opciones de alojamiento son: En el campus Con alguno de los padres Fuera del campus La elección de alojamiento del estudiante podría afectar a la cantidad de ayuda financiera que cumpla los criterios para recibir. En general es más caro vivir en el campus o fuera del campus que con padres o familiares Recuerda que elegir una opción de alojamiento no es lo mismo que solicitar alojamiento en el campus. Deberás comunicarte con las facultades o universidades para solicitar información sobre alojamiento Next, students select the housing plan that best describes the type of housing they expect to have while attending each listed college or university. The student selects a planned living arrangement - “on campus,” “with parent,” or “off campus” for each school listed. The student should list “on campus” if unsure whether he or she will live with parents or not.

36 Sección 1 Información sobre la universidad
Estrategias para incluir las universidades Incluye en la lista las instituciones educativas cuyo plazo para solicitar ayuda financiera venza antes Si vas a enviar una solicitud a más de diez universidades, espera al Student Aid Report (SAR) y añade universidades adicionales a través de la web o por teléfono utilizando el el PIN Here are some tips for completing these Section 1 questions — especially if the student is applying for financial aid at more than ten colleges or universities. List the schools with the earliest financial aid deadlines first. Students should make sure to include their first and second choice schools. Students applying to more than ten schools can add additional schools when they receive their processed Student Aid Report (SAR). Financial aid is awarded by each individual campus. Therefore, students applying to more than one campus location of the same school should list each location separately in Section 1 of the FOTW if the separate campus location has its own federal school code.

37 Sección 2 (página 2) ESTATUS DE DEPENDENCIA DEL ESTUDIANTE
The questions in Section 2 are used to determine whether the student is considered dependent (for FAFSA filing purposes). If the student is dependent, parent financial information must be provided on the form. Students should read each of the thirteen questions in this section and mark all that apply. Let’s review each of these questions. Sección 2 (página 2) ESTATUS DE DEPENDENCIA DEL ESTUDIANTE

38 Sección 2 Determinación del estatus de dependencia del estudiante
Si el estudiante no marca ninguna de las casillas sobre su estatus de dependencia, se le pedirá que pase a la sección sección 3. A los fines de presentar la FAFSA, se considerará que el estudiante es dependiente y deberá proporcionar información sobre sus padres Si el estudiante está en condiciones de marcar al menos una de las preguntas de esta sección, deberá omitir la sección 3 y pasar a la sección 4. Se considerará que el estudiante es independiente en lo que respecta a la presentación de la FAFSA y NO necesitará proporcionar información sobre sus padres Determination of Student Dependency Status: If none of the statements in this question fit the student’s circumstances, he/she is considered a dependent student and his/her parents will be required to provide information in Section 3. If at least one of the statements matches the student’s circumstances, he/she will be considered independent and should skip Section 3 of the Worksheet. The student will be required to provide information about his or herself and spouse, if married. NOTE: If the student has circumstances that make him/her believe that he/she is independent, then he/she may request special consideration from each college or university by submitting a letter of special circumstance directly to each financial aid office. Appeals are considered on a case-by-case and are decided by each individual college. Not all appeals will be granted. For today’s purpose, we will assume that most students are required to provide parental information in Section 3 and so we will move on to that section now.

39 Sección 2 Determinación del estatus de dependencia del estudiante
NOTE TO PRESENTERS: At this point, read each of the dependency statements in Section 2 individually. Homeless students are automatically considered to be independent. If you are working with any school homeless liaisons or homeless shelter staff, you should refer them to the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth web site for a special form they may want to use to verify a student’s homeless status. Colleges and universities may require such documentation.

40 Sección 3 (página 3) INFORMACIÓN DE LOS PADRES

41 Sección 3 A quiénes se considera padres
Consulta la Página 3 de FASFA en la Hoja de Trabajo de la Web sobre quién es considerado padre Padre(s) biológico(s) o adoptivo(s) Padrastros (independientemente de cualquier acuerdo previo al matrimonio) En caso de divorcio o separación, proporciona información sobre el padre/padrastro con el que el estudiante haya vivido más tiempo en los últimos 12 meses Who is Considered a Parent Before starting this section, listen carefully to help determine who is considered a parent in this section. Let’s look at top of Page 3 of the FAFSA on the Web Worksheet. Students and and their parents must answer all the questions in Section 3 as of the date they complete and submit the FAFSA. NOTE TO PRESENTERS: Go to Page 3 of the worksheet and read directly from the text, starting with “Who is considered a parent.” Then continue with the following information for the audience: If the biological or adoptive parents are both living and married to each other, answer the questions about both of them. If the parent is widowed or single (that is, never married), answer the questions about that parent. If the widowed or divorced parent is remarried as of the day the FAFSA is submitted, answer the questions about that parent and the person to whom the parent is married (the student’s stepparent). If the parents are divorced or separated, answer the questions about the parent the student lived with more during the past 12 months. If the student lived with both equally, submit financial data about the parent who provided the greater amount of support. If that parent is remarried, include stepparent information. The term "parent" is not restricted to biological parents. There are instances (such as when a grandparent legally adopts the applicant) in which a person other than a biological parent is treated as a parent, and in these instances, the parental questions on the application must be answered, since they apply to such an individual (or individuals). An adoptive parent is treated in the same manner as a biological parent on the FAFSA. A stepparent is also treated in the same manner as a biological parent if the stepparent is married, as of the date of application, to the biological parent whose information will be reported on the FAFSA, or if the stepparent has legally adopted the student. There are no exceptions. Prenuptial agreements do not exempt the stepparent from providing required data on the FAFSA. The stepparent's income information for the entire base year 2009, must be reported even if the parent and stepparent were not married until after the start of 2009, but were married prior to the date the FAFSA was submitted. .

42 Sección 3 Quien no es considerado padre/madre
No proporciones información sobre : Padres de adopción temporal o guardianes legales Si el estudiante tiene padres de adopción temporal (foster care) o un tutor legal, se lo considerará automáticamente un estudiante independiente Abuelos u otros familiares Debes intentar obtener información sobre tus padres biológicos Las universidades pueden usar Juicio profesional para permitirte presentar la solicitud como estudiante independiente Who is NOT a Parent? A foster parent, legal guardian, grandparent or other relatives - such as aunts, uncles, or older siblings - are not considered as parents for purposes of filing a FAFSA unless that person has legally adopted the applicant. If students are in this situation, they should contact the financial aid office at the colleges or universities they are most likely to attend before completing the FAFSA. Again, students should not provide any financial information about foster parent(s) or legal guardians Because a foster child or a child who has a legal guardian is automatically considered an independent student grandparents or other relatives Students living with grandparents or other relatives must attempt to get biological parent information Colleges may consider using professional judgment to make the student independent in rare cases.

43 Sección 3 Información sobre los padres
Si la respuesta a cualquier pregunta es cero o si la pregunta no aplica, escribe 0 : Escribe las cifras en dólares redondeados : Recomendación: Si los padres no han enviado su declaración federal de impuestos para 2009, usa los formularios W-2 u otros documentos de empleo, como el último talón de cheque, para estimar los ingresos totales Recuerda: usa un cálculo estimativo de los ingresos de 2009 para no dejar que venza un plazo de presentación $ , 1 2 $ 3 5 6 (sin centavos) , Parent Information It the answer to any question in Section 3 is zero, or the question does not apply, the student should enter “0” as shown. Always report whole dollar figures (rounding up or down); ignore any cents. Remember, if the parents whose information is reported on the FAFSA have not yet completed their 2009 federal income tax form, it is important that they use their best estimates of their total 2009 taxable and untaxed income. Parents can use W-2’s, final 2009 paycheck stubs, or any other employment or income records to help make an estimate. Remember, it is OK to use estimated 2009 income information when completing the FAFSA. Parents and students will have opportunities to update estimated income amounts when they file actual federal tax returns or other documentation becomes available.

44 Sección 3 Información de los padres
Si el estudiante proporciona información sobre su padre/padrastro o sobre su madre/madrastra, necesitará los siguientes datos de esas personas: Números del Seguro Social Nombres Fechas de nacimiento If the student is providing father’s/stepfather’s and/or mother’s/stepmother’s information, the student will need those parents’: Social Security Numbers Names Dates of Birth Note to presenters: These questions about parent information have been combined. The Worksheet asks questions about father/stepfather and mother/stepmother separately.

45 Sección 3 Trabajador desplazado
Se pedirá al estudiante que indique si el padre/padrastro o la madre/madrastra es un trabajador desplazado Se considera que una persona es un trabajador desplazado si: está recibiendo beneficios de desempleo porque fue despedido o perdió su trabajo y es poco probable que retome su ocupación anterior ha sido despedido o ha recibido un aviso de despido de un empleo era un trabajador autónomo pero ahora está desempleado debido a la situación económica o a un desastre natural es una amo o ama de casa desplazado Dislocated Worker The student will be asked if the father/stepfather and/or mother/stepmother is a dislocated worker. A person may be considered a dislocated worker if he or she: is receiving unemployment benefits due to being laid off or losing a job and is unlikely to return to a previous occupation, or has been laid off or received a lay-off notice from a job, or was self-employed but is now unemployed due to economic conditions or natural disaster, or is a displaced homemaker. A displaced homemaker is generally a person who previously provided unpaid services to the family, for example: a stay-at-home mom or dad who is no longer supported by the husband or wife; and is unemployed; and and is having trouble finding or upgrading employment.

46 Sección 3 Estatus de la declaración de impuestos de los padres para 2009
Parent Tax Filing Status: In this questions, the student will be asked to provide information about parent tax filing status for 2009: If the parents have completed their 2009 federal income tax return, the parents should mark the first box If they have not as yet filed, but plan to file a 2009 federal income tax return, they should mark the second box If they have not nor will not file a 2009 federal income tax return and are not required to do so, they should mark the third box Se pedirá al estudiante que proporcione información sobre el estatus de la declaración de impuestos de 2009 de los padres: Si los padres han completado su declaración de impuestos federales sobre la renta de 2009, marca la primera casilla Si los padres no han presentado aún su declaración de impuestos federales sobre la renta de 2009, pero planean hacerlo, marca la segunda casilla Si los padres no han presentado ni presentarán una declaración de impuestos federales sobre la renta de 2009, y no tienen la obligación de hacerlo, marca la tercera casilla

47 Sección 3 Ingresos brutos ajustados de los padres en 2009
$$$$$$ Si tus padres no han enviado aún su declaración de impuestos para 2009, está bien calcular la información para estas preguntas Si tus padres han terminado su declaración federal de impuestos para 2009, usa la información de la declaración para completar este punto. Parent Adjusted Gross Income The next question asks about parents’ 2009 adjusted gross income (or AGI). Remember, if custodial parents have not yet filed their 2009 federal tax return, it is fine to use estimated 2009 income information on the FAFSA. There will be sufficient time to update this information when the actual 2009 federal tax return is completed. This question asks specifically about parents’ 2009 AGI; that is, the total of all taxable income they will list on their 2009 federal income tax form. This figure includes their wages as well as other income such as interest and dividend income, business and rental property income, as well as the taxable portion of pensions and Social Security benefits. Recordatorio: Si la respuesta es cero o si la pregunta no aplica, escribe 0:

48 Sección 3 Dinero ganado por los padres trabajando en 2009
$$$,$$$ $$$,$$$ Utiliza los formularios W-2 y otros documentos para incluir el ingreso total de 2009 que ganaron trabajando (incluyendo los ingresos de negocios recibidos por empleo autónomo) de padre/padrastro y/o madre/madrastra Money Earned from Work by Parent(s) in 2009 When the Department of Education's processor calculates the parents' Expected Family Contribution (EFC), certain allowances are subtracted from the parents' income for required taxes and necessary expenses (such as income and Social Security taxes and basic living costs). The parents' income earned from work will also be used in the EFC calculation as an income factor when no tax form is filed. These next questions ask about custodial parent earnings from sources such as wages, salaries and tips. These questions must be answered whether or not the parents file a tax return. This information may be on their W-2 forms, or on IRS Form 1040—lines plus Box 14 of IRS Schedule K-1 (Form 1065); 1040A—line 7; or 1040EZ—line 1. Parents who own a business or farm should report any income from these sources here as well so that Social Security taxes paid can be properly calculated. Note to presenters: FOTW asks separate questions about mom and dad’s income from earnings. These questions are combined on the slide.

49 Sección 3 Beneficios recibidos en el hogar de los padres en 2008 ó 2009
Parents’ Household 2009 or 2009 Benefits Received Receiving benefits from one of the federal programs listed on the FAFSA affects the way in which the federal processor will calculate the parent expected family contribution, or EFC. If the student, the student’s parents, or a member of the parents’ household received benefits from one of the following federal programs in 2008 or 2009, mark all that apply: Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Food Stamps Free or Reduced Price Lunch Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Food Stamps and/or TANF may have a different name in your state. Call FED-AID to find out the name of the your state’s grants. Indica si el estudiante, sus padres o alguien en el grupo familiar de sus padres recibió beneficios en 2008 ó 2009 de alguno de los siguientes programas federales: Ingreso complementario de seguridad (SSI) Cupones para alimentos Almuerzos escolares gratuitos o a precios reducidos TANF WIC

For example, if either of the custodial parents is paying child support for a child in another household, this amount will be subtracted from the total custodial parent income. The student should check all that apply on the Worksheet. Once online at FAFSA on the Web, the student may be asked to report his or her parents’ annual 2009 amounts for all boxes checked.

51 Sección 3 Ingresos del 2009 no sujetos a impuestos de los padres
Se pedirá al estudiante que indique si él/ella o sus padres tuvieron algún ingreso libre de impuestos en Marca todas las opciones que corresponda. Algunos ejemplos de los rubros más comunes son: - Pagos con impuestos diferidos a planes de jubilación y de ahorro tales como 401K, deducciones IRA, y pagos a planes para trabajadores autónomos como SEP y Keogh - Intereses libres de impuestos - Pagos de manutención de menores recibidos - Asignaciones para vivienda, alimentos y otros gastos de manutención otorgados a personal militar y del clero 2009 Parent Untaxed Income This 2009 Untaxed Income Information section asks questions about untaxed income the custodial parents earned or received. Parents should be sure to include pre-tax contributions they (not employers) have made to 2009 tax deferred pensions, retirement savings plans, IRAs and Keoghs. Additionally, parents should include other untaxed income such as child support received in 2009 for all children (including the student), tax exempt interest income, housing/food and other living allowances as well as any income not reported elsewhere on the form. Some colleges and universities may ask for information about other untaxed income, such as untaxed foreign income. They may also request documentation of any information reported here. The student should check all that apply on the Worksheet. Once online at FAFSA on the Web, the student may be asked to report his or her parents’ annual 2009 amounts for all boxes checked.

52 Sección 3 Bienes de los padres
Se podrá pedir a los padres que presenten un informe de sus bienes. En ese caso: Incluye el valor neto de los bienes de los padres el día que se llena la FAFSA Si el valor neto es un millón de dólares o más, escribe Si el valor neto es cero, escribe 0 Parent Assets The purpose of collecting asset information is to determine whether the family's assets are substantial enough to support a contribution toward the student’s educational expenses. Only the net asset value is counted in the need analysis. To determine the net value of any asset, first determine the market value of the asset and then subtract the amount of debt owed on the asset. The result is the net value of the asset. Section 3 (Parental Information) asks information about custodial parents’ assets as of the day the FAFSA is actually completed in These questions are different than those that ask about 2009 parent income. We’ll talk more about assets in a moment. If the answer to any of these asset questions is $1 million or more, enter $999,999 as shown in the example. If the answer to any question is zero, enter “0.” Applicants should not leave any question blank. Be as accurate as possible in reporting assets. Some financial aid offices may request documentation of reported amounts. 9 $ , $ , NOTA: Algunas oficinas de ayuda financiera pueden exigir documentos que prueben las respuestas a estas preguntas

53 Sección 3 Bienes de los padres
Se podrá pedir a los padres que indiquen los balances de sus cuentas corrientes y de ahorros y de su dinero en efectivo a la fecha en que completen la FAFSA Podrá también pedírseles que proporcionen información sobre el valor neto de sus inversiones tales como bienes raíces, propiedades de alquiler, cuentas de mercado monetario o fondos comunes de inversión, acciones, bonos y otros valores Asimismo, se les podrá hacer preguntas sobre el valor neto de sus negocios o fincas agrícolas con fines de inversión No deberán incluir el valor del hogar en el que viven, el valor de su planes de jubilación o seguros de vida, ni el valor de pequeñas empresas de propiedad familiar y que la familia administre Parent Assets: Parents may be asked to provide information about their assets depending on their level of income. An asset is defined as property that has an exchange value. The purpose of collecting asset information is to determine if the family’s assets are substantial enough to support a contribution toward the student’s educational expenses. Assets fall into three categories for the FAFSA on the Web. These are: Cash, savings and checking Investments Business or Investment farm value Cash, savings and checking are liquid funds that parents have as of the day the student and his or her family complete the FAFSA. Investments include some of the following: real estate (other than the parents’ primary home, trust funds, UGMA and UTMA accounts, money market and mutual funds, certificates of deposit, stock and stock options, bonds and other securities, Coverdell Education IRAs, college savings plans including 529(c) plans owned by parents, installment and land sale contracts, and commodities. Business and investments farms include the market value of land, buildings, machinery, equipment, and inventory. Debt means only those debts for which the business/investment farm was used as collateral. Keep in mind that only the net worth (the current value minus debt) of assets should be reported. Remember, parents should not report assets such as the family home, the value of any life insurance, or the value of a family-owned and controlled small business (with 100 or fewer full-time or full-time equivalent employees). And, most importantly, any accumulated funds in retirement accounts such as Roth or traditional IRAs, pension funds, KEOGH, 401K, 403B, or other plans should not be reported.

54 Sección 3 Correo electrónico de los padres
Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo: Da una dirección de correo electrónico para un padre que tenga validez al menos hasta que el estudiante empiece la facultad Si uno de los padres proporciona una dirección de correo electrónico, la persona que procese la FAFSA del estudiante avisará a ese padre que el procesamiento ha tenido lugar Parent Address This question, not on the Worksheet, provides students the opportunity to report their parent’s address. (The address must be able to fit within the boxes shown on the application). The address will be used: by the U.S. Department of Education, the state, and the colleges listed on the FAFSA to: - correspond with parents - confirm FAFSA data It is important that this address remains valid through the admission and financial aid application period because many colleges and universities may use this address to communicate with the parents. AS A SIDE NOTE: Parents may want to consider opening a separate account to be used just for receiving information from the colleges and universities to which their child is applying.

55 Sección 3 Tamaño del grupo familiar de los padres
Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo: Cantidad de personas en el grupo familiar de los padres Incluye a los siguientes en el grupo familiar de los padres: el estudiante los padre(s) los demás hijos dependientes de los padres, si los padres proporcionan más de la mitad de su manutención o si los hijos podrían contestar “no” a todas las preguntas de la sección 2, independientemente de donde vivan otras personas, si viven en este momento con los padres y seguirán haciéndolo del 7/1/10 al 6/30/11, y los padres proporcionan más de la mitad de su manutención en este momento y seguirán haciéndolo del 7/1/10 al 6/30/11 Parent Household Size The number of family members reported directly affects the family’s ability to contribute to the student’s education costs. While this question is not on the Worksheet, we think it is important enough to discuss in some detail. The following persons should be included in the parents' household size in this question: The student applicant should always be included, even if not currently living with parents Parents (excluding a parent not living in the household as a result of death, separation, or divorce) Parents' other children, if the parents will provide more than half of their support from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, OR the children could answer "no" to all questions in Section 2 about their dependency (regardless of whether they live with the student’s parents) Other people (aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.) ONLY IF they now live with the student’s parents and will continue to do so from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, AND the student’s parents provide more than one-half of their support now and will continue to provide more than half of their support from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011.

NOTE: The student’s parents cannot be included in the number of family members in college. However, if one or both of the custodial parents will be enrolled in college during the academic year, the family should be advised to contact the colleges to which the student is applying for admission and financial aid. The student should provide these colleges with written information about the reason why the parent is attending college and document the costs involved. The school may choose to recognize those additional family expenses in calculating the student’s eligibility for financial aid. NOTA: algunas oficinas de ayuda financiera requerirán evidencia de que otros miembros del grupo familiar están asistiendo a la facultad

57 Sección 3 Impuestos federales sobre la renta de los padres en 2009
Una pregunta importante que NO está en la hoja de trabajo: ¿Cuál fue el monto que los padres pagaron en 2009 en impuestos federales sobre la renta?

This section asks about student 2009 taxed and untaxed income and the current net value of the student’s assets.

60 Sección 4 Información del estudiante
Las preguntas de la sección 4 son idénticas a las preguntas sobre las finanzas de los padres que cubrimos en la sección 3 Si el estudiante el soltero, ignora las referencias al “cónyuge” Si el estudiante es casado, informa el ingreso y los bienes del cónyuge Las preguntas de la sección 4 preguntan: ¿Qué declaración de impuestos federales sobre la renta de 2009 presentó o presentará el estudiante? Los ingresos brutos ajustados del estudiante en 2009, si presenta una declaración de impuestos, y los ingresos provenientes de su trabajo, así como otros ingresos libres de impuestos y bienes The questions in Section 4 concerning student finances are identical to those in Section 3 for parents. We will not review the student income information in this section in any detail. If the student is single, separated, divorced, or widowed as of the date the form is completed, references to “spouse” should be ignored. If the student is married at the time the FAFSA is submitted, the spouse’s 2009 income and current value of combined student and spousal assets must be included even if the student was not married in 2009. How many students here today are considered independent for purposes of completing the FAFSA? NOTE TO PRESENTERS: Based on the number of participants in the audience who respond affirmatively to being independent, either have the students see you after the formal presentation or review slides 61 though 64 at this point.

61 Sección 4 Si el estudiante es un trabajador desplazado
Puede considerarse que una persona es un trabajador desplazado si: está recibiendo beneficios de desempleo porque fue despedido o perdió su trabajo y es poco probable que retome su ocupación anterior ha sido despedido o ha recibido un aviso de despido de un empleo era un trabajador autónomo pero ahora está desempleado debido a la situación económica o a un desastre natural es un amo o ama de casa desplazado The student will be asked if he or she or his or her spouse is a dislocated worker A person may be considered a dislocated worker if he or she: is receiving unemployment benefits due to being laid off or losing a job and is unlikely to return to a previous occupation, or has been laid off or received a lay-off notice from a job,or was self-employed but is now unemployed due to economic conditions or natural disaster,or is a displaced homemaker. A displaced homemaker is generally a person who previously provided unpaid services to the family, for example: a stay-at-home mom or dad who is no longer supported by the husband or wife; and is unemployed; and and is having trouble finding or upgrading employment.

62 Sección 4 Información del estudiante (Estudiantes independientes)
Hay preguntas en la sección 4 que sólo se le harán al estudiante si ha marcado al menos una respuesta en la sección 2 sobre el estatus de dependencia del estudiante Student Information This part of Section 4 asks information about those students who checked at least one of the questions in Section 2. Students who left all of the questions in Section 2 blank because none of the statements applied to them, should skip these next questions. NOTE TO PRESENTERS: You may want to use this slide if you are reviewing questions for independent students. If not, skip. . Estudiantes dependientes SÁLTENSE ESTA PREGUNTA

69 ¿Qué pasa después? Tú y las universidades que incluiste recibirán Student Aid Report (SAR) de un procesador federal ê Debes leer tu SAR ya que contiene información importante y comprobar que los datos son correctos Las universidades agrupan los registros de admisión con las solicitudes de ayuda financiera y determinan si calificas para recibir ayuda Las universidades envían notificaciones de la elegibilidad para ayuda financiera a los estudiantes admitidos que hayan llenado todos los formularios de ayuda financiera requeridos What Happens Next? Within two weeks after filing the FAFSA, the student should receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) from the federal processor. The SAR summarizes the information the family provided on the FAFSA. Each school listed on the SAR will also receive the information electronically. If the student does not receive the SAR within three weeks, he/she should contact the federal processor to check on the status of the FAFSA; call FED AID; that’s or check on the status of your FAFSA by going to FAFSA on the Web at and using your PIN. Once each school receives the electronic SAR and all other required financial aid forms, and confirms the student’s admission status, the financial aid office will determine the student’s financial aid eligibility. Some schools may request that the student submit income documentation such as student and parent 2009 federal income tax returns, including W-2s and all schedules and attachments, before sending the student a final determination of eligibility. The school will use this and any other requested information to verify the accuracy of the data provided on the FAFSA. Schools understand that many families have used estimated data. A financial aid notification (commonly referred to as an award letter) describing the amounts and sources of aid the student has been awarded will be prepared for the student when the student’s financial aid application is complete. Most schools will wait until the student has been accepted for admission to notify him or her about financial aid eligibility. Some schools will mail a paper financial aid award to the student; others may provide the award electronically. In some cases, the student will be required to sign and return a copy of the financial aid award notification, indicating whether he/she accepts or declines each source of aid. If family circumstances change after the student completes the FAFSA and other required financial aid documents, make sure to contact the financial aid office at each school as soon as possible.

Let’s now recap the steps involved in applying for financial aid: Colleges and universities may have their own deadline dates for applying for financial aid. Make sure you know what those dates are and what financial aid forms and documents are required. To make sure students are considered for all types of aid, families should submit the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1, 2010. Note to presenters: Insert any state-specific information. Students should keep a copy of all forms they submit and copies of all documentation used to complete those forms. Review the electronic SAR Acknowledgement or paper Student Aid Report (SAR). After students have been admitted to one or more colleges, watch for financial aid award notifications. These notifications are sometimes called financial aid awards or packages and will list the grant, scholarship, work-study and loan amounts the student might be eligible to receive. Remember, the students must reapply for financial aid each year. Applying for financial aid by all published deadlines assures that the student is considered for the maximum amount of financial aid. ASK QUESTIONS! If you do not understand what to do next, or what is required of you – be sure to ask for help! Note to Presenters: Remind the group that students should file all their financial aid forms by each college’s published deadline or by any state-specific deadline – whichever date comes first. Remind the participants to meet all deadlines so the don’t miss out on any financial aid opportunities.
