Tuition Discounts

Tuition discount programs

In addition to traditional financial aid (scholarships, grants and loans), we also offer assistance for certain members of our community, including:

  • Students with a permanent disability
  • Students who were in foster care
  • Students that are considered homeless youth
  • National Guard members
  • CCBC employees and retirees
  • Baltimore County seniors

Additional discount programs

  • Early College Access Programs benefit any student who wants to earn college credit while in high school. Additional discounts may apply for students in Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS).
  • Next Steps: When applying to CCBC, select application type A: “ Dual Enrollment/Attending While in High School.” Contact ecap@ccbcmd.edu for more information.
  • No matter where you live in Maryland, you can enroll in any one of nearly 50 high-demand and hard-to-find statewide programs at CCBC’s affordable statewide tuition rate of $142 per credit hour.
  • Next Steps: Apply to CCBC and select one of the eligible programs as your program of study. After registration, check your schedule bill to ensure your address is correct and the statewide tuition rate has been applied.
  • Special discount tuition rates are available for CCBC students living in York County, Pennsylvania. York County students are billed $1 more than Maryland residents of counties other than Baltimore County.
  • Next Steps: Ensure your address is noted accordingly in your application. The tuition rate will automatically applied to your bill.

Each service branch has its own application process, eligibility criteria, service obligations, and restrictions for using Tuition Assistance (TA) benefits. Service members should follow the specific guidelines for their branch and get approval from their Education Center before enrolling in classes. We recommend starting this process early—at least 60 days before the semester begins—since TA must be approved at least 7 days before classes start.

Once approved, email your TA Authorization Letter to veteranservices@ccbcmd.edu.

Important: Tuition Assistance covers tuition only, not fees.

For active duty service members and reservists temporarily unable to attend class, CCBC adheres to Volume 2, Chapter 3 of the Federal Student Aid Handbook. Contact Veterans Services or the Registrar’s Office to notify the college of your military service and your intention to return to school.

In accordance with Senate Bill 677, 15-106.10, Section 4, CCBC will extend a waiver of tuition and related fees for one course to parents or legal guardians of a deaf or hard of hearing child. The provision states the parent may take one course that teaches a language or communication at an institution of higher education and is exempt from paying tuition for the course.

To qualify, parents or guardians must submit the following:

  • A copy of the audiogram or a letter from their audiologist confirming the dependent is deaf or hard of hearing
  • A copy of the birth certificate listing the parent who wishes to enroll in the course or adoption records to verify guardianship

Documents may be dropped off at the Bursar's Office or emailed to bursar@ccbcmd.edu.
