Subject:	financial aid for the MPA program
We're finally processing the MPA financial aid applications, and the Financial Aid office has told us that you are one of the applicants who doesn't have a valid FAFSA on file for 2006-07.  We need that asap so that we can determine your eligibility for aid.

If you haven't done a FAFSA for 2006-07, the fastest way to get it done is to do it online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.  Be sure to designate Evergreen as the school to receive the report.

If you thought you had done a FAFSA for this year, it's possible that there was a glitch in processing it (they didn't get your signature, or you didn't designate Evergreen to receive it, or the Internet hiccuped--the possibilities are endless, unfortunately).  You will want to call our Financial Aid office at 360-867-6205, or stop by at Library 1218, and see if they can help you sort out what went wrong.

Either way, please let me know so we'll know what to do with your financial aid application.  We aren't allowed to award any funds until you have a FAFSA on file, so it's worth the trouble to straighten it out.  If you have any questions, please let me know.
