Applying for financial aid
Applying for financial aid can be done in just two easy steps!
1. Create your FSA ID and password (each contributor must have their own)
- To get an FSA ID you will need to create one if you don’t already have one. Visit: Studentaid.gov https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch
- Who needs an FSA ID? Any individual required to provide consent and approval for federal tax information (FTI) along with their signature on the FAFSA form, including the student; student’s spouse; a biological or adoptive parent; or the parent’s spouse (stepparent).
- Once your FSA ID has been verified with the Social Security Administration (1-3 days), you will be able to use your FSA ID to access your person information on Federal Student Aid Websites, including FAFSA®
2. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid FAFSA®
- To apply for Student Financial Aid, you will need to fill out the FAFSA®.
- Don’t forget to add Firelands Regional Medical Center School of Nursing as one of your schools of choice.
- FRMCSN school code: 003114
- Have ALL contributors log in and fill out their portion of the FAFSA and provide approval and consent to have FTI information released to the student's FAFSA.
- When the last contributor has finished their portion of the FAFSA, they will be able to sign and submit the students FAFSA information to the FAFSA Processing System
- The FAFSA Processing System will then process the FAFSA and forward the FAFSA Submission Summary to the student and the Institutional Student Information Report (ISIR) to the schools listed on your FAFSA.
- When Firelands Regional Medical Center School of Nursing receives the student's ISIR, a financial aid package will be developed for enrolled/accepted students for that academic year.
Federal and state financial aid programs
Second & third-year students
Your financial aid will be processed and disbursed by the Firelands Regional Medical Center School of Nursing financial coordinator. Each year, the financial coordinator will distribute financial aid packets to all second-year students. These packets will include application information and the forms necessary to apply for financial aid through the school. Application information will also be available from the wall display near the financial coordinator's office each January for all currently enrolled students.
2026-2027 special circumstances request for review financial aid application or package
Federal regulations require all applicants to report 2024 income figures on their 2026-2027 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). However, if a student can prove a change in their financial situation has occurred due to extenuating circumstances, they may request a review of the household income to be taken into consideration. Please complete the 2026-2027 Special Circumstances Request for Review - Financial Aid Application or Package form if your income and/or your spouse’s or your parent(s) (if dependent) income is less in 2025 or 2026 than it was in 2024. A submission of this request does not guarantee an increase or adjustment in your financial aid eligibility. Forms are available from the Financial Coordinator or on the wall display outside her office.
