Applying for Aid
It’s easy to apply for financial assistance at Oakton. Here’s what to do.
- Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
- Receive your Student Aid Report (SAR) from the U.S. Department of Education. The SAR estimates the amount you and/or your family are able to contribute toward college expenses; your aid award is based on the difference between the College’s cost of attendance and this amount.
- Submit the Oakton Community College Financial Aid Information Form. You may be required to submit additional information such as tax forms and bank statements.
- Submit the Oakton Community College Scholarship Application if you’re applying for an Oakton-funded scholarship.
- Check application procedures for any additional scholarship programs. For instance, some Illinois financial aid programs require separate applications. Check the CollegeIllinois Web site for more information.
