FAFSA Application Instructions

FAFSA Application Instructions

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online.   The results of a student's FAFSA are electronically sent to CCCC when our Federal School Code of 001909 is included on the FAFSA. 

Please watch "How to Fill Out the FAFSA" 

To choose an alternate method to file the FAFSA please visit http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/options.htm

The FSA ID username and password must be used to log in to certain U.S. Department of Education websites.  Your FSA ID confirms your identity when you access your financial aid information and electronically sign Federal Student Aid documents. 

Please watch "How To Create an FSA ID" 

Both the student and the parent of the student will need to create a FSA ID user name and password.

• Create a username and password using your unique e-mail address.
• Enter your name, date of birth, Social Security number, contact information, and challenge questions and answers.
• Review your information, and read and accept the terms and conditions.
• Confirm your e-mail address using the secure code, which will be sent your unique e-mail address you entered when you created your FSA ID.  Once you verify your e-mail address, you can use it instead of your username to log in to the website.

Please access the Federal Student Aid Website for additional Information on Filling out the FAFSA and Federal Aid Programs.
