Social security card
Driver license
High school diploma or transcript showing completion of 12th grade or
GED certificate or
If any of the above is not present, the student must take an ability to benefit (ATB) test administered by an independent tester. (Please note, as of July 1, 2012 Ability to Benefit applicants on longer qualify for Title IV funds.)
Signed, completed applications with supporting documentation are forwarded to the financial aid office (FAO). The FAO will review all applications submitted and then electronically submit the information to the Department of Education. The original signed and dated application will be retained in the student financial aid file. If an applicant mails their FAFSA the student will receive by mail a paper student aid report (SAR) at their home address. In the electronic process, the school receives electronic information via computer and will print a document known as institutional student information record (ISIR). The two documents are almost the same; except the recipient and the speed of completion. Either the SAR or the ISIR is required for all eligible students wishing to receive financial aid. When the ISIR is printed in the financial Aid office, the student will be notified by telephone, e-mail, or regular mail through the United States post office. Students are asked to review the ISIR or SAR for accuracy of information. Some ISIRS are flagged for verification, selective service registration, and drug conviction, for selling or possession of drugs and at some instances some applicants are in default of a federal student’s loan. After the prospective student have reviewed his/her ISIR and find a fault, then the corrections are made to reflect the correct information.

Grants
Grants are an award of federal student aid, which do not have to be paid back. A federal Pell Grant is entitlement, which means it does not have to be repaid. If a student qualifies for an award, they will receive it. The amount of awards is based on the U.S. Department of Education determination of students need. Sharp Edgez Barber Institute is currently applying to participate in the Title IV program.
Loans - Subsidized & Unsubsidized
Available to all students, maximum $3500 for 1st year students, beginning in 2007-2010 award year, additional unsubsidized loan available to independent students maximum $6000 for 1st year students. 2nd year students may qualify for additional loans based on C.O.A. (cost of attendance) and peroration of remaining hour. Dependent students $2000.00 unsubsidized and may also qualify for a grade level 2 loan.
A Stafford loan usually must be disbursed in two or more installments, with no disbursement exceeding half the loan amount. The earliest a school may disburse a Stafford loan directly to an enrolled student or credit his or her account is 30 days before the first day of the period of enrollment. Similarly, the school may make a subsequent disbursement no earlier than 10 days before the period of enrollment for which that disbursement is intended.
Whenever a school credits federal student aid funds to a student’s account and determines that a portion of those funds exceed the amount of the student allowance charges, the school must pay that credit balance directly to the student (or parent, in case of a plus loan) as soon as possible or as a specified in federal student aid regulations. If the credit balance occurred after the first day of class, the school must pay the balance to the student or parent no later than 14 days after the balance occurred. If the credit balance occurred on or before the first day of class, the school must pay the balance within 14 days after the first day of class for the payment period.
