Pell Grant

All financial aid applicants are required to complete the FAFSA. The PELL Grant is a federal student aid entitlement program which provides a foundation of financial assistance to which other forms of aid may be added.

The U.S. Department of Education determines the student’s eligibility for financial aid based on the formula developed annually and reviewed by Congress. This formula is applied consistently to all applicants and takes into account income, assets, family size, etc. The formula uses the information provided on the application to produce an eligibility index number which determines the amount of aid to be received. The Student Aid Report (SAR) will be mailed directly to the student approximately four to six weeks after submitting their application. The Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) will be received by CCC approximately five to ten days after submission of the electronic application.
