Financial Aid
 NOTICE |
| Students planning on attending SCC in the Fall 2019 term should file their 2019-2020 FAFSA now to meet SCC's priority deadline of May 1. This FAFSA will include 2017 tax information. To begin the application, visit fafsa.ed.gov. |
The purpose of financial aid is to provide assistance to students who, without such aid, would be unable to attend college. Financial aid at Southwestern Community College is available in the form of grants, scholarships, work-study, and federal student loans to help meet a student’s financial need.
We have designed this site to assist you with understanding the financial aid process.
We urge you to browse the entire site as it contains valuable information, not only about the application process, but also the procedures of the SCC Financial Aid Office.
It has been our experience that students and families who take the time to understand the financial aid process benefit by receiving the maximum amount of financial aid for which they are eligible, while enjoying a "stress-free" financial aid process.
