 How Soon to Apply for Financial Aid?
Applications are available beginning in January 1 each year;
please apply early for financial aid online using the
FAFSA online
financial aid application. The
FAFSA online
application serves as your application for B-CC financial aid. Some
programs handled by the Financial Aid Office have very early priority dates.
Students applying before these dates are given top consideration for the
program. Those who apply after these dates are considered on a
first-come, first-served basis if funds are still available in the particular
programs. For deadline information, check the types of awards below or
e-mail the Financial Aid Office.
Grants
These programs are available to undergraduate students working toward their
first bachelor's degrees. These grants do not have to be paid back by the
student.
Scholarships
Bethune-Cookman scholarships recognize academic excellence among
undergraduate students! The major purpose of these programs is to encourage
outstanding students and assist them along the path to leadership and
service to humanity. Scholarships are provided to high
school graduates entering college for the first time, to transfer students
with 24 college credit hours, and to matriculating students
who have been enrolled at Bethune-Cookman for at least one academic
year.
Loan Programs
An education loan
is a form of financial aid that must be repaid, with interest.
Education loans come in three major categories:
student
loans (for example, the Stafford Loan),
parent loans
(such as the Parent PLUS loan), and
private
student loans (also called alternative student loans).
To begin the process, students must complete the
FAFSA
application.
Student Employment Programs
The Financial Aid Office arranges a very limited number of on-campus
jobs to students who need assistance in meeting their financial obligations to
the College.
