Application Procedures

Entering Students (Transfers and Freshmen)

To apply for Financial Aid at Berry College you must first be accepted for admission. Upon being admitted you will receive Financial Aid instructions and log in access to the Online Financial Aid at Berry web site: https://financialaid.berry.edu.

Returning Students

In January each year please activate your financial aid account via the web site: https://financialaid.berry.edu.

 

Georgia Residents

If you are an eligible Georgia resident, and wish to apply for state grant assistance or the HOPE Scholarship, you MUST complete the electronic e-HOPE/e-TEG Online Application at: http://GAcollege411.org.

 

Need Based Financial Aid

To apply for any Federal Program including Pell Grants and Federal Student and/or Parent (PLUS) loans you must:

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA or the FAFSA on the web at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

You must include Berry's Title IV code '001554' in order for Berry to receive an electronic copy of the results.  Follow the directions carefully.  Mistakes will delay your financial aid award.  Be sure to use completed federal income tax return figures.  Submit your FAFSA to the federal processors via mail or the internet.  USING ESTIMATED TAX INFORMATION WILL DELAY YOUR AWARD.  After your FAFSA has been processed, you will receive your Student Aid Report (SAR).  Please review it carefully for accuracy.  If corrections are necessary, follow the instructions on the SAR.  The SAR will also give you instructions for submitting the corrections to the federal processors.  Keep all paper copies you receive for your records.
