Financial Aid
Financial aid provides assistance to meet college expenses. Aid is available to qualified students enrolled both full- and part-time in eligible programs. All admissions criteria must be met before a student is eligible to receive financial aid.
The first step for students seeking federal financial aid is to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov. For students who are not eligible U.S. citizens, the first step to apply for state financial aid is to complete the Alternative Application for Financial Aid at www.isac.org.
The four major types of financial aid available through KCC are scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time student employment.
