FRC School Code: 008597
Access to this new system’s Self-Service is obtained by using the FRC student ID number, a nine-digit number beginning with “900”. Your ID number is located on your 2009-10 award letter. Initially your PIN for Self-Service is your birth date, in the form of MMDDYY. Immediately after logging into Self-Service the first time, your birth date PIN expires and you must select a different, secure six-digit PIN. You are also asked to create a security question.
Welcome to the FRC Financial Aid Office homepage! The Financial Aid staff are dedicated to assisting students and families in obtaining funds to cover college costs in an equitable manner. Financial assistance is available from the
Federal and State governments, Feather River College, local organizations,
and lending institutions. The application process for financial aid is
complex, and we are here to help you with the process. Feel free to contact the
Financial Aid Office for assistance. Our goal is to see that financial
problems do not prevent you from participating in your educational
experience. We look forward to serving you!
DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM: Effective with the 2009-10 academic year, Feather River College is pleased to announce that we will be participating in the Federal Direct Loan Program (DL). Funds for the Direct Loan Program come directly from the U.S. Department of Education. FRC previously participated in the Federal Family Educational Loan Program (FFELP) through which the funding sources were banks and other private lenders. With the Direct Loan Program, FRC students and parents will have access to a secure, dependable and affordable source of funds to finance their educational costs.
CURRENT ECONOMIC DOWNTURN: Feather River College understands that many individuals and families are being affected by the current economic downturn. If you or your family’s income for 2009 is significantly different than the income for 2008 that was reported on your FAFSA we may be able to help. The FRC Financial Aid Office has the authority to make adjustments to an individual’s federal student aid application based on special conditions within the household. Anyone requesting an appeal must also go through the verification process. It is important to know that not all changes in circumstances will result in an adjustment to the student’s aid eligibility. When reviewing an appeal the Financial Aid Office takes into account the availability of funds and the nature of the change in circumstances. If you have any further questions regarding this process please contact the FRC Financial Aid Office.
The Appeal for Unusual Circumstances forms will be available on the 2009-2010 forms page on our website within the next few weeks. The form will tell you what supporting documentation needs to be submitted with the completed form.
Important information is sent to you by mail as well as email. Please make sure both of these addresses are current.

Financial aid awards are
generally based on the student's documented financial need, or on merit in
the case of scholarships, and come in the following forms:
Grants
Money awarded based on need, and does not
have to be repaid.
Scholarships
Money awarded based on merit, and does
not have to be repaid.
Work
Money earned by the student working
through the college, generally for minimum wage.
Loans
Money borrowed and paid back with interest.
Meeting college expenses is a
cooperative effort between the student, the student's family and the
federal government. The student and/or student's family has the primary
responsibility for financing the cost of their child's education, to the
extent that they can contribute.
The student shares in this responsibility and
is expected to contribute from savings, or employment.
