How to Apply for a Brunswick Area Student Aid Fund Scholarship
Applying for a BASAF scholarship is easy! No later than March 15 OF EACH YEAR OF ELIGIBILITY, complete and submit the BASAF Online Scholarship Application (the “BASAF Application”) to be considered for the upcoming academic year.
It’s a very simple form, but please remember that the BASAF Application requires an upload of information from your FAFSA Submission in order for you to be evaluated for a scholarship award; instructions for completing the FAFSA Submission upload are included on the BASAF Application and can also be found below. Please note we are no longer accepting any paper applications.
After you and your contributors have submitted all required sections of the FAFSA for the current application cycle, you will receive a confirmation email from FAFSA. Several days later, you will receive an email notifying you that your Submission Summary is ready. This will include your Student Aid Index (SAI). To complete your BASAF Application, upload a PDF of your FAFSA Submission Summary (not the confirmation email) to your BASAF Application, making sure to include your name and your SAI.
To view and generate a PDF of your FAFSA Submission Summary:
-
- Log in to StudentAid.gov using your FSA ID (account username and password).
- Navigate to the account Dashboard.
- Select your processed FAFSA submission from the “My Activity” page, which will bring you to the Status Center “Details” page.
- Select “View FAFSA Submission Summary.”
- Save your Submission Summary as a PDF document where you can easily find it.
- Upload the Submission Summary PDF document to your BASAF Application, making sure to include your name and SAI.
These instructions can also be found on the BASAF Application Form.
If you are not eligible to complete the FAFSA, please consult with your school counselor, or contact Dory Streett, Scholarship Committee Chair, at dorystreett@gmail.com.
All qualifying BASAF Applications are weighed solely on the basis of financial need, and it is the intent of the BASAF to offer financial aid to as many eligible students annually as available funds permit.
Each eligible student may receive a BASAF award for two post-secondary academic years. In order to receive a second award, the student must complete and submit another BASAF Online Scholarship Application, along with their most recent FAFSA Submission Summary no later than March 15 of each year of eligibility.
Please note we are not able to grant extensions beyond the March 15 deadline, and we are no longer accepting paper applications.
