What to Do & What to Expect

Apply for Financial Aid

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the required application for all federal and state aid awarded at DCTC. For speedier results, apply for a Federal Student Aid PIN to sign your online application electronically.

Enter the following information in the college section of the FAFSA:
  • Dakota County Technical College, Rosemount, MN
  • Federal School Code 010402

Financial Aid Requirements

Future students must be admitted to the college and enrolled in an approved program of study before financial aid will be awarded.

Check out the Admissions Checklist for more information.

Student Aid Report (SAR)

You should receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) in approximately three days if you apply online, sign using your PIN and provide a valid e-mail address. If you mail in a hard copy of the FAFSA, you will receive a SAR in roughly four weeks.

The SAR is a summary of the information that you provided on your FAFSA. Review your SAR carefully. If you need to make any corrections, please contact the DCTC Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid for assistance.

Financial Aid Award Letter

After your FAFSA is processed along with any required verification documents, you will receive a Financial Aid Award Letterlisting the amount of scholarships, grants, work-study and loans that you are qualified to receive.

The Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid will begin issuing award letters for the 2008-2009 award year at the beginning of April 2008.
