Evergreen's school code for financial aid processing is 008155. The priority financial aid deadline for receiving complete and valid information from the federal processor is March 1. The online FAFSA is recommended to ensure quick and accurate processing. This March deadline is important for all new students regardless of the quarter that you enter Evergreen. For example: if you are admitted to fall quarter 2012, you will want to make sure that the Office of Financial Aid has your FAFSA results by March 1, 2012. Likewise, if you are admitted to winter quarter 2013, you will want to make sure that your FAFSA results are received by March 1, 2012.
