The majority of Federal Financial Aid eligibility available through the federal government is determined by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application includes the Federal Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Direct Loans, and Work Study.
All traditional and non-traditional students are encouraged to apply for Federal Student Aid. Selection to receive financial assistance through Cloud County Community College will be made without regard to age, sex, race, color, religion, national origin, or handicap.
If your financial situation has changed recently and you do not believe that the information submitted on your FAFSA reflects your ability to pay, please see our Professional Judgement page for more details.
Every student who meets certain eligibility requirements can get some type of Federal Student Aid, regardless of age, or family income. The most basic requirements are that you must:
All students utilizing Federal Student Financial Aid must submit all previous college transcripts to be evaluated for Satisfactory Academic Progress before eligibility can be determined and an Offer Letter sent to the student. Transcripts must be sent to CCCC's Admissions Office directly by the institution they are from.
Financial Aid Offers are based on Full-Time Enrollment Status and Financial Aid Eligible hours will be used to determine Enrollment Status.
Financial Aid Eligible hours are courses which are eligible to apply toward a student's declared CCCC degree or certificate.
If a student is enrolled in courses that do not count toward their degree or certificate program, they cannot be used to determine enrollment status unless they are eligible remedial courses.
The Financial Aid Office will prorate the Federal Pell Grant based on the student's Financial Aid Enrollment Status if the student is enrolled in less than 12 Financial Aid Eligible hours during a payment period.
Direct Loan eligibility can also change as a result of the Financial Aid Enrollment Status.
Financial Aid is not fixed. Information received at any time during the payment period may require adjustments to be made to the student's Financial Aid.
Some students may be selected for a process called Verification by either the Department of Education or a school. If a student’s file is selected for Verification, supporting documents will be requested to verify that the information submitted on the FAFSA is correct.
It may take up to eight weeks to process a FAFSA, especially if selected for Verification, so we encourage students to apply early to avoid needing to make payment arrangements with the Business Office before the start of classes.
