FINANCIAL AID

Am I Eligible?

In general, to receive financial aid at PCCC, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Be accepted as a degree seeking student to an A.A., A.S. or A.A.S. degree program, or
  • Be accepted as a certificate-seeking student in an eligible vocational program.*
  • Be making Satisfactory Academic Progress
  • Be a U.S. citizen, national or permanent resident alien
  • Not be in default on a prior student loan
  • Not owe a repayment or overpayment of a federal grant
  • Have a high school diploma or G.E.D. certificate
  • A student can’t receive FSA funds if he or she fraudulently obtained FSA funds and has not completely repaid those funds to the Department or the loan holder
  • Neither the student nor parent can receive FSA funds if his or her property is subject to a judgment lien for a debt owed to the United States.

PLEASE NOTE: If the school receives information indicating that you may be ineligible for these (or other) reasons, the school may not pay the student FSA funds until the school has documented that the situation has been resolved.

Note: If you plan to take remedial classes, Federal Financial Aid programs (PELL, SEOG) will only pay towards a maximum of 30 remedial credits.

Check Your Status

If you submitted your FAFSA and completed your placement, you should have received your MyPCCC login. Check your financial aid status, find verification forms, and pay your bill by logging into MyPCCC.

* Note: if you’ve completed your FAFSA, it can take 5-7 days before your status is updated.
