Financial Aid Checklist
 
Use this checklist to help keep track of all your financial aid paperwork. We recommend tracking your paperwork carefully.

Complete the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA
Museum School’s Federal School Code is 004667. For faster processing, submit forms on-line at fafsa.ed.gov. Online submissions can cut processing time by as much as five weeks.

Review Your Student Aid Report (SAR)
Once your FAFSA is processed, the government will send you an SAR, summarizing the information you provided on your FAFSA. Thoroughly review your SAR. If there are any errors correct them and bring the report to the School’s Financial Aid Office. If you don’t receive your SAR within six weeks of completing your FAFSA, please contact the federal government processing center at 319-337-5665.
