Completing the Application Process

1. After your completed application is received by the processing system, the processor will produce a Student Aid Report (SAR). The SAR will report information from your application and, if there are no questions or problems, will report your Expected Family Contribution (EFC)—the number used in determining your eligibility for need-based student aid. Your EFC will appear in the upper-right portion of your SAR. The schools listed on your application will electronically receive the information provided on the SAR. Do not send the SAR to Georgia Tech.

2. You may be asked to submit other types of documentation to Georgia Tech. The following are some of the most commonly requested forms:

• Signed copies of parents’ federal income tax returns (if you applied as a dependent student)
• Signed copies of the student’s federal income tax return (and spouse’s return if you are married and separate returns were filed)
• Verification statement
• A copy of your permanent resident alien card if you are an eligible non-citizen
• Further verification of your registration status with Selective Service

(Note: You may be required to provide a letter from Selective Service indicating your registration number or your exemption from registration status. The Selective Service phone number is 847.688.6888. Their Web site is www.sss.gov.)

3. If additional documentation is requested, it is your responsibility to provide correct and complete information. Responding promptly and including your gtID# will prevent delays.
