  • Financial Aid Eligibility Requirements for Undergraduate Students

    ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID

    Eligibility for need-based financial aid is determined by an analysis of family resources calculated by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To receive need-based financial assistance from the College, students must:

    • Demonstrate financial need

    • Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress

    CCS also awards scholarships based on merit. Students may qualify for these scholarships based on the strength of their admission composite score (portfolio, GPA and test scores) at the time of admittance to the College. No additional application is required for these scholarships.

    Students receiving tuition assistance from their employers will have their tuition scholarship reduced accordingly.

Half-time students are eligible for a maximum of 12 years (24 semesters) of half-time awards. Some federal and state awards may have a lower maximum number of years for both full-time and part-time enrollment. Contact the Office of Financial Aid for more information.
