First Step = Apply Early and Start with a FAFSA
More than 53% of Cleveland Community College students receive some kind of financial aid and all of them started the financial aid process by taking the first step in filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Here is how you get started in determining your eligibility for any of these programs:
- Get a PIN (Personal Identification Number) at www.pin.ed.gov. A pin is your electronic signature for the Department of Education and is required to complete your online FAFSA. Your parents are required to have their own PIN if you are a dependent.
- Complete the FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov. Financial aid cannot be awarded without a complete FAFSA on file. Be sure to list CCC’s School Code, 008082, as your first school of choice.
- Return your paperwork. The CCC Financial Aid office will send you paperwork to complete your financial aid packet once your file is electronically transferred to our system. Complete it, sign it and return it.
- Request your transcripts or GED records from your high school and have them sent to the Student Services Department at CCC at 137 S. Post Road, Shelby, NC 28152. The office of Student Services is located on the second floor of the Jack Hunt Campus Center.
- Your award letter will notify you of any funds for which you are eligible.
