To be considered for financial aid, you must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every year. The Department of Education uses FAFSA data to calculate the estimated Student Aid Index (SAI) to determine your eligibility.

Our scholarship application includes federal and state grants as additional ways to cover CCBC costs.
After you've applied for aid, we'll communicate with you via CCBC email and our student information system, SIMON. Check both regularly to make sure you have no outstanding requirements that could delay your aid.
Applying to CCBC and submitting your FAFSA are just the beginning. Once we receive all of your documentation and review the information, we'll email you regarding your award. Any financial aid funds remaining from your award will be automatically direct deposited into your checking account. If the awarded aid covers only part of the bill, you will be responsible for the difference.
After you have received your financial aid, it’s important to understand what you need to do to keep it. Familiarize yourself with the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards you must meet in order to keep your financial aid.
