Dates to Know

December 2023 – the 2024-25 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) will open for the following academic year.  Students will use tax information from the prior-prior year.  Students are encouraged to apply early in the spring prior to the start of the fall semester in order to complete the process and receive their award early. However, Holmes CC will accept and process applications throughout the school year within federal deadlines.

Students needing assistance completing the FAFSA can make an appointment via email with any of our staff for Monday-Thursday 8:30-2:30.

Loans will be processed throughout the semester; however, the following are priority deadlines for first disbursements – if the 15th falls on a weekend, the deadline is the following business day.

Disbursements
Occur on a semester by semester basis and are credited to the student’s business account. Once the account is cleared and all charges and fees have been paid, any balance of the award will be disbursed by the Business Office, within 14 days of the credit balance being issued.
