Financial Aid

Important News

The 2009-2010 academic year marks the beginning of CFCC's participation in the Federal Direct Stafford Loan Program. Direct loans are low-interest loans for students and parents, similar in every way to the loan programs in which CFCC previously participated, except that the lender is the U.S. Department of Education rather than a bank or other financial institution.

*** The last day to have your Summer Federal Stafford loan certified is Friday, June 26, 2009. ***

To receive priority consideration, it is recommended that you complete and submit your FAFSA online by May 15 and all supporting documents by June 30. We will continue to review FAFSA's and supporting documents received after the suggested submission dates. However we cannot guarantee that late applications will be processed before fall semester registration or in sufficient time to meet the payment due date.

Beginning immediately, with the processing of 2009-2010 financial aid applications, ALL student correspondence from the Financial Aid Office will be sent via e-mail. Current students should check their CFCC e-mail accounts frequently for important information from the Financial Aid Office, including documents required to complete the application and award notices. Notices to prospective students will be sent to the address provided on the admission application until a CFCC e-mail account is assigned.

If a student decides NOT to attend CFCC after registering for classes, s/he MUST complete paperwork for an official drop BEFORE the first day of the semester. Failure to do so will result in the student's being charged for tuition and fees. All financial aid will be taken away.

Stop by the Financial Aid Office for additional information.
