Financial Aid

Overview: Financial Aid Application Process

Seattle Central Community College offers a five step process to help you obtain financial aid. In order to qualify for full financial aid, you must be enrolled with 12 credits or more. You can still receive financial aid with less than 12 credits, but most grants require that you are registered in 6 credits or more. If you are taking fewer than 12 credits please contact the Financial Aid Office immediately after registration (or you will experience delays in receiving financial aid funds).

Before you begin the financial aid process, please download the 2012-2013 Financial Aid Application Guide or the 2013-2014 Financial Aid Application Guide and read the instructions carefully. Then visit Student Aid Resources for the complete text of the 2012-2013 Student Guide.

Please note: You are responsible for any problems resulting from failure to follow application directions or any problems resulting from failure to meet an application deadline.
