Project CONNECT

Application

Download the Project CONNECT application (PDF format)

Please attach the following to your application before submitting it to our office:

Proof of Disability (if applicable)
Proof of Enrollment: a copy of your Unofficial Transcript - See below for printing instructions
Proof of Income: You may submit a copy of your most recent income tax return (1040) to verify taxable income. If your income tax return is not available, you may submit a copy of your Student Aid Report if you completed the FAFSA instead (however, we would prefer to receive your income tax return since the SAR doesn't list your taxable income, only adjusted gross income, and our low-income levels are based on taxable income).
1. Your Student Aid Report (SAR) is basically a copy of your submitted FAFSA. It takes a few days to process your FAFSA after you have submitted it. After your FAFSA has been processed, you can view and print a copy of your SAR. See below for printing instructions.
