Financial Assistance Programs

CCC understands that paying for college is tremendous financial commitment for all of our students. We also recognize the need for additional Financial Assistance Programs for our students who, during their enrollment, may encounter and extreme and unexpected financial crisis that threatens to interrupt previous financial plans.
The first step in being considered for any financial assistance program is to complete the Free Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA). Click here to get started on the Federal Financial Aid Process.
After we receive your FAFSA you will receive a CCC Award Letter beginning April 1 for the next upcoming school year.
Your FAFSA will outline all financial assistance programs you are eligible for and also the next steps in accessing these additional programs.
