Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply for Financial Aid (including grants, work study and HOPE)?

To apply for most types of Financial Aid (Pell Grant, HOPE, Federal Student Loans, NGTC Scholarships, Work-study, etc.) complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa

When are current financial aid priority deadlines?

Current deadlines can be viewed in the table above on the Financial Aid page.

What if I apply for financial aid past the priority deadline?

If you apply for Financial Aid past the priority date deadline, your application will be processed in the order that it was received. Because of processing times, you are not guaranteed to have aid posted to your account before the payment deadline. If this occurs, please be prepared to pay your fees prior to the payment deadline and await reimbursement, if eligible.

What is the processing time for financial aid documents?

Once the Financial Aid Office has received the necessary documents, processing time varies from 3 -14 days depending on whether the application is chosen for verification, type of aid requested, and program of study.

How do I know what I have been awarded?

There are two options to view what financial aid you have been awarded. Log into your BannerWeb account, choose the link Student Services, then choose Student Records, then choose Account Detail For Term, and finally click on the term that you want to view the aid for, and the aid will show under Authorized Financial Aid.

How is Pell Grant awarded at NGTC?

For the purpose of Pell, NGTC operates on a two-term disbursement schedule. This means that a student’s annual Pell Grant award is divided into two disbursements. The annual maximum Pell Grant award ($7,395 for 2024-2025) is divided between the fall ($3,698) and spring ($3,697) semesters. Any remaining funds are available for disbursement in the summer semester. Students who are enrolled for at least 12 credit hours, both fall and spring semesters, will have additional Pell Grant funds available to them for the summer semester. The student must meet all other eligibility requirements in order to receive a Pell disbursement for summer semester. A student not enrolled for at least 12 credit hours both fall and spring semester should have a portion of their annual Pell Grant Award available to disburse for summer semester. Enrollment status determines the amount of Pell Grant funds awarded each semester.

Credit Hours	Enrollment Intensity Formula	Enrollment Intensity	Enrollment Status Equivalent
12 (or more)	12 ÷ 12 = 1.0	100%	Full-Time
11	11 ÷ 12 = 0.917	92%	Three-Quarter Time
10	10 ÷ 12 = 0.833	83%	Three-Quarter Time
9	9 ÷12 = 0.75	75%	Three-Quarter Time
8	8 ÷ 12 = 0.667	67%	Half-Time
7	7 ÷ 12 = 0.583	58%	Half-Time
6	6 ÷ 12 = 0.50	50%	Half-Time
5	5 ÷ 12 = 0.417	42%	Less-than-Half-Time
4	4 ÷ 12 = 0.333	33%	Less-than-Half-Time
3	3 ÷ 12 = 0.25	25%	Less-than-Half-Time
2	2 ÷ 12 = 0.0167	17%	Less-than-Half-Time
1	1 ÷ 12 = 0.083	8%	Less-than-Half-Time

Note: Enrollment intensity cannot exceed 100% for purposes of Pell Grant proration.

How will my Federal Direct Loan Funds be disbursed?

Beginning with the Fall 2017 Semester, NGTC will no longer be participating in the Federal Direct Student Loan Program.

What does being selected for verification mean?

The U.S. Department of Education randomly selects FAFSA’s for verification. This means that our Financial Aid Office must request certain documents to verify the accuracy of the information listed on the FAFSA. You will not be eligible for aid until this process is complete.

My FAFSA was selected for verification. What documents do I need to complete the verification process?

Will withdrawing from a course or courses affect my Financial Aid?

Students may drop classes in BannerWeb until the end of the drop/add period each semester. The third class day of each semester is the last day to drop for a full refund of tuition and fees. Students may also drop on the fourth class day of each semester, but tuition and fees will not be refunded for drops made on this day.

After the drop/add period ends, the student must contact the instructor for each course or their advisor to withdraw from the course. Prior to withdrawing from the course(s), the student is strongly encouraged to communicate their decision for withdrawal with their program advisor. It is also recommended that the student consult with his or her Financial Aid advisor to determine what financial consequences may apply prior to withdrawing from the course. No student who has attended or participated in class during the last week of the semester may be withdrawn.

How will I get the balance of my Financial Aid after all eligible expenses have been paid?

North Georgia Technical College has partnered with BankMobile, to provide refunds to all North Georgia Technical College students. For more information about BankMobile, visit this link: https://bankmobiledisbursements.com/refundchoices/.
