Financial Aid Self-Service is Available to Students as of July 5

Preparations for the fall 2024 semester are underway, and beginning Friday, July 5, students can check the Financial Aid Self-Service section of the Polk Portal for information about the status of their financial aid applications. Students who have applied for financial aid and have incomplete applications will be notified via Polk State email by the end of the day July 5 and instructed to check the Portal for more information on how to complete their applications. The College encourages all students to monitor their Polk emails and check their financial aid status in the Financial Aid Self-Service section of the Portal.

The College is also pleased to announce that financial aid awards have begun and can be viewed in the Polk Portal. Beginning July 5, some students will be able to check their eligibility for Federal Pell Grants in Self-Service. Additional funds, loans, state grants, and scholarships will be made available in the coming weeks. Please note that financial aid awards are processed in phases, and students should monitor their emails and check the Portal for updates. As additional financial aid is awarded, email notifications will be sent to affected students, who will be instructed to check the Polk Portal for details.
