Steps to apply for Financial Aid
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid at [FAFSA.gov] and include CACC’s School Code of 001007. If you are completing a FAFSA for the first time, you will need to create an FSA ID for yourself and a parent (if you are under the age of 24).
The Enrollment Services Office must have a completed admission application and all official transcripts for financial aid application to be processed.
After submitting your FAFSA online, please monitor your email for any messages from CACC Financial Aid or Inceptia, our verification partner.
If you are selected for Verification, you will receive an email from Inceptia inviting you to sign up and complete the verification process through the Verification Gateway.
Check your MyCACC portal for any additional financial aid requirements. Submit any requested documents or forms to Financial Aid
After completing steps 1 through 5, you may begin checking your MyCACC portal for any financial aid awards. Please allow at least 6-8 weeks for processing. You may also email financial_aid@cacc.edu with any questions.
