How do I pay for my education?
We often hear “How much will my family be expected to contribute” and “How much financial aid will I receive?” There is no fast and simple answer, as your expected contribution varies based on income, family size, number of students in college, and other factors. At CCC, more than 98% of students receive enough financial assistance to pay for their tuition, fees, books, supplies and part of their living expenses. Therefore, all of their financial needs are met from sources other than their own pockets! A complete step by step process is located in the financial aid section of our web site at http://www.cleveland.edu/admissions/financial-aid/financial-aid-process/.
Some of the financial resources to help you pay for your education include:
Direct Loans -- Eligible students can borrow up to $16,500 per trimester
Direct GradPLUS Loans -- students with no adverse credit history may apply for additional funding through this program
Alternative Loans-- These loans are credit-based from private sources
Scholarships -- Institutional and scholarships from other vendors are available for varied amounts ranging from $500-$3700 per trimester.
Federal Work Study -- This program provides jobs on campus for students with financial need.
