Submitting your FAFSA Student Aid Report (SAR)

If you are a graduating high school senior, you may be eligible for need based renewable scholarships through the SME Education Foundation. To be eligible, you must first complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and be Pell Grant eligible.

After submitting your FAFSA you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR). It may take 3 to 5 business days to receive your SAR after completing the FAFSA due to government process time. The first page of your SAR is the required document for need based scholarship consideration as part of your SME Education Foundation scholarship application.

What is the Student Aid Report (SAR) and what does it look like?

The Student Aid Report (SAR) is a document that provides you information about your eligibility for student aid and list your answers to the FAFSA. This document will also include your Pell Grant eligibility estimate.

Your completed SAR will be about 10 pages and the first page will look like below when you access your information online.

**PLEASE NOTE YOU ARE ONLY REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE FIRST PAGE OF YOUR STUDENT AID REPORT as part of your application**
