Financial Aid
Financial aid helps students pay for college. This financial assistance can cover educational expenses including tuition and fees, books, supplies, and transportation. There are several types of financial aid, including grants, scholarships, work study, and loans. Financial aid awards may include a combination of these various types of aid.
In preparation for the 2024-2025 processing year, the Financial Aid will be closed for staff training and activities on the following days:
- Monday, April 22: 9am to 5pm
- Thursday, April 25: 9am to 5pm
Important News Concerning the 2024-25 FAFSA and WASFA
The 2024-2025 FAFSA and WASFA are now available! The FAFSA and WASFA for future years should be available on October 1. Please see our FAFSA Simplification Act page for more details.
Schools are expected to begin receiving 2024-2025 FAFSA applicant information in early March 2024. This impacts the college's processing timeline and initial aid offers for 2024-2025 will be delayed. We tentatively anticipate to begin sending aid offers after June 10, 2024. Please continue to check our website for updates.
Shoreline encourages all students to still apply as early as possible.
