• Obtain an official copy of your high school transcript.
• If you are currently enrolled (full-time or part-time) in a college, university, junior college, technical college, or trade school, obtain a copy of your official transcript. (If your transcript does not include information for the current semester, you may submit an unofficial transcript with your application. If you receive a scholarship, we will require that you submit an official transcript with your tuition bill.)
• Obtain a copy of your FAFSA Submission Summary resulting from your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which includes your Eligibility Overview and FAFSA Form Answers. It can be found on your dashboard on the FAFSA website. Please be sure to click both "Expand All" buttons so that your answers to all questions will be visible before you save the page as a PDF.)
Note: It can take from three days to three weeks for a FAFSA to be processed. For more information on the FAFSA process, go to Federal Student Aid.
• Obtain a copy of your Financial Aid Summary (FAS), which lists your estimated cost of attendance (i.e., expected school expenses) and all sources of financial aid. It is prepared by the Financial Aid Office of the college, university, technical college, or trade school you plan to attend or currently attend and may be sent to you in a letter or be posted to your student account.
  If you are already enrolled in college or another school and your FAS for the upcoming school year will not be available before   the application deadline, you may submit your FAS for the current year, noting any changes you expect to occur in the upcoming   year. (If you are selected for a scholarship, we will ask you to submit your FAS for the upcoming year before we finalize your award.)
  If you are already enrolled in college or another school, and are transferring to a different school, obtain the FAS from the school to which you are transferring.)
  

• If you plan to live off-campus:

  - Obtain a copy of your signed lease or other proof of off-campus housing costs. If you will not be responsible for the full amount   of the rent, calculate the portion of the total that will be your responsibility.

  - Estimate your food costs, including the cost of groceries and/or a meal plan, if you purchased one. If you did not
    purchase a meal plan, you can expect to pay about $2,950 for food during the school year.

  - Estimate your food costs while on campus, i.e., the cost of food you will purchase on campus and/or the cost of a commuter   meal plan that you purchased from your school.
  - Estimate your commuting costs, including mileage, tolls, and parking; or bus fare, as applicable, using this commuting cost   worksheet.
