Financial Aid
The Financial Aid Office is responsible for the administration of student financial aid programs, most of which are based on need.
Some of the programs administered by this office include Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), New Mexico Work Study (NMWS), Federal College Work Study (FCWS), Federal Direct Loan (subsidized and unsubsidized), Veteran Educational Assistance, and Scholarships. A student may apply for Pell Grants and Direct Loans as well as many other programs by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. For more detailed information about financial aid, please refer to the CCC Catalog or www.clovis.edu/financialaid.
Students planning to attend college should apply for financial aid as early as possible.
A student must apply for aid each academic year. Students can apply online, beginning in February, for the following fall semester. Students must have a high school diploma or high school equivalency credential and have a degree plan on file with the Academic Advising Office to be eligible for financial aid. Campus-based aid (all federal programs except the Pell Grant) is awarded according to the need of the student on a first-come, first-served basis.
Scholarships
CCC has many scholarships available, ranging from $100 to $1,000 per year. Students are encouraged to apply
for scholarships to lessen the need
for loans or part-time work to attend school. These scholarships are made possible by generous contributions to the College to recognize and encourage academic and professional achievement.
Awards are generally based on
scholastic achievement and financial
need. Your financial need may not be the only consideration for individual scholarships; we may also take into account your grades, academic major, residency, and other factors. Students are encouraged to file the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to determine eligibility for federal and state aid. However, you do not need to be PELL eligible in order to be awarded a scholarship at CCC.
Scholarship seekers will find dozens of scholarship opportunities on our website at www.clovis.edu/scholarships.
Additional scholarships can be applied for at https://clovis.academicworks.com. Students who are offered these scholarships will be notified through their CCC email accounts.
