Be sure to include Trinity College’s school code: 001414. If selected for verification, link your FAFSA with IRS data or submit a Tax Return Transcript as required.
3. Submit the Trinity College Graduate Federal Loan Information Sheet directly to the Financial Aid Office. This must be received by June 1, 2017 for Fall awards or by November 1, 2017 for Spring awards. Make sure to fill out all questions on this form to avoid any delays.
4. Attach signed copies of your 2015 U.S. Federal Tax Returns, including all schedules and W-2 forms. Ensure that these documents are submitted by the same deadlines as noted previously. If you have not filed, request a copy from your tax preparer or a tax transcript from the IRS.
5. If applicable, submit IRS Form 4868 for tax extensions along with all required W-2 forms and a signed draft of your 2015 Federal Tax Return. This is critical to notify the financial aid office about your tax situation and ensure proper handling of your application.
6. Check your financial aid status regularly online to stay informed about your application process. Notifications will be sent via email starting in July; ensure you have submitted all documents to receive your financial aid award.
7. Prepare for payment of student bills at the time of your class registration. If you plan to secure a student loan, complete all necessary processes beforehand.
