Carroll Community College

Carroll's financial aid program assists eligible students with meeting their college-related expenses. Financial assistance is provided through scholarships, grants and employment opportunities.

An award package, consisting of one or more types of aid, is offered based on the level of your financial need and the availability of funds. With the exception of Federal Work-Study, where payment is made through a bi-weekly paycheck, all awards are applied to the college tuition and fee bill. Any surplus balance is refunded to you, by check, usually during the sixth week of each regular term.

The basic criterion for qualifying for most financial aid programs is to demonstrate financial need. Financial need is the difference between the total cost of attending Carroll and your or your parent's (if applicable) ability to contribute to your educational expenses. This is determined through a careful review of all information supplied on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) . This standard need analysis system treats all students equally and fairly.

You may review any of the college's accreditation documents by contacting the Financial Aid Office.
