Your (and your spouse's, if you are married) last year’s Federal Income Tax Return - IRS Form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040Telefile, or foreign tax return; if you have not yet filed, you’ll need good estimates of the amounts involved
Your last year’s untaxed income records - Social Security, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, welfare, or veterans benefits records (if applicable)
We strongly recommend that you set up an appointment with the school Financial Aid Office. We will give you all the pertinent information you need to get into school. We will help you complete the financial aid application to avoid some of the most common errors people make on the paper FAFSA. The FAFSA must be signed by the student and a parent of dependent students. The school will allow you to take the form home to be signed by your parent. Dependent students must provide parental income information, even if their parents do not help them with their educational costs.
At the end of your financial aid appointment, you will know which date you can begin class, usually within the next 2 weeks.
Once your FAFSA has been submitted, you’ll receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) from the U.S. Department of Education, either by e-mail or postal mail. When you receive the SAR, carefully review it to make sure that all the information is accurate. If everything is accurate, you don’t need to do anything else with the SAR. Shortly after you receive your SAR, Seguin Beauty School will receive the same information from the U.S. Department of Education. At that point, you may be selected for verification . If so, you will be asked to submit additional documentation to our office. If not selected, you may simply be eligible for financial aid awards to help you pay for your Cosmetology program.
The Seguin Beauty School Financial Aid Office telephone number is 830-372-0935.

FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION
Federal student aid is awarded on a need basis for each applicant. Need is the difference between the cost of your education (education expenses such as tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, and other expenses) and the amount the student and his/her family can afford to pay. This is determined by the standard formula established by the U.S. Department of Education. Need is determined by evaluating the information from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Factors such as income, assets and benefits are considered in determining the student’s financial needs.
