Financial Aid
FAFSA info
Complete the FAFSA
Students can submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online. The FASFA collects financial data and other information that is used to calculate the Student Aid Index (SAI) that ultimately determines a student's eligibility for financial aid.
The key to obtaining financial aid is to apply early. Students should apply at least three months prior to the time they expect to enter school. Late applicants may begin the process at anytime. However, financial aid will not be awarded until you have been accepted to the college.
If students prefer to fill out a paper FAFSA it is available to download on the studentaid.gov website and it includes instructions on how to complete and submit the form.
Fill the form out completely and submit it to the federal processor. Applicants may continue to file the FAFSA throughout the academic year for remaining available funds.
Students must reapply for financial aid each year by updating their information on the "FAFSA on the Web" website. If you are applying for student loans, you need to submit a loan worksheet each year as well.
School Code
Wenatchee Valley College's Title IV school code is 003801. Use this code when completing your FAFSA.

Obtaining Tax Information for FAFSA verification
You must have an FSA-ID to provide your tax information on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®).
Tax information will be drawn down directly from the IRS.
In certain cases, you may be asked to verify your tax information.
Getting Your Tax Return Information for verification
2024 -25 FAFSA: uses data from 2022 tax returns.

may be able to access your account to download/print a copy.
- Contact the tax preparer/provider who filed your return if you used a tax professional.
- Download your tax transcript (a summary) at Get Transcript Online. Review the rigorous identity authentication requirements for Secure Access before attempting to register.
- Use Get Transcript by Mail and a transcript will be mailed to the address on your return within five to 10 days.
- Call our automated line at 800-908-9946 to order a transcript by mail.
If you filed an amended tax return, Form 1040X, you should use the adjusted gross income and earned income listed on your revised tax return.
