The 2024-2025 FAFSA will open in December rather than Oct. 1. Watch your student email for information about the new simplified application.
If you will be taking classes for college credit:
Step 1: Complete the
Dallas College admissions application.
Step 2: Complete the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You must be a U.S. citizen or
eligible noncitizen to apply for federal aid. Read our
FAFSA overview for some common questions and answers, plus helpful tips.
If you are not a citizen and therefore are not eligible for federal aid, you may still be eligible for Texas state aid if you are certified as
HB1403 eligible.
To apply for state aid as an HB1403-eligible noncitizen, you may either:
- Print and complete the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA), available on the
College for all Texans website. On this site, the form is available in both English and Spanish. If you are starting in the Fall 2020 or Spring 2021, you will complete the 2020-2021 TASFA. If you are starting in the Summer 2021, Fall 2021, Spring 2022 semesters, you will complete the 2021-2022 TASFA.
or - Pick up a TASFA from the college
Financial Aid Office, then fill it out and submit it.
It is best to have the
documents required to complete the application and the
Title IV school code for each college that you may attend before you start the FAFSA process.
The FAFSA is required for almost all financial aid programs offered by Dallas College, and most of the campus
Financial Aid Offices provide computers and help with completing the FAFSA.
Net Price Calculator
The
Net Price Calculator was designed to give an
estimate of financial aid through a series of about 10 to 15 questions similar to those listed on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It does
not replace the need for students to complete the FAFSA.
