Carroll Community College

Carroll Community College's Financial Aid Program assists eligible students with meeting their college-related expenses. Financial assistance is provided through scholarships, grants and employment opportunities.

An award package, consisting of one or more types of aid, is offered based on the level of the student's financial need and the availability of funds. With the exception of Federal Work-Study, where payment is made through a bi-weekly paycheck, all awards are applied to the College tuition and fee bill. Any surplus balance is refunded to the student by check, usually during the sixth week of each regular term.

The basic criterion for qualifying for most financial aid programs is to demonstrate financial need. This is defined as the difference between the total cost of attendance at Carroll and the student's and parents' (if applicable) ability to contribute to these educational expenses. Financial need is determined through a careful review of all information supplied on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) . This is the standard need analysis system that treats all students equally and fairly.

The steps to applying for financial aid at Carroll Community College can be viewed on the "Apply for Financial Aid" section of the College's website.

In compliance with federal regulations, a student may review any of the College's accreditation documents by contacting the Financial Aid Office.
