CCBC's school code for FAFSA
Calculate your costs so we can help you get a quality education without going into debt.
To be considered for financial aid, you must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every year. The Department of Education uses FAFSA data to calculate the estimated Expected Family Contribution (EFC) to determine your eligibility.
CCBC’s FAFSA school code is 002063. The Catonsville address is listed, but it works for all campuses.
To qualify for federal student aid, you must meet the following requirements:
Our scholarship application includes federal and state grants as additional ways to cover CCBC costs.
After you've applied for aid, we'll communicate with you via CCBC email and our student information system, SIMON. Check both regularly to make sure you have no outstanding requirements that could delay your aid.
After we receive all of your documentation and verify the data, we'll send award notifications to your CCBC student email. Financial aid disbursement is based on the number of credits in which you are enrolled as of the third week of the regular fall and spring semesters. You cannot receive any financial aid for courses you register for after that time, including late start courses.
Tuition, fees, and other charges authorized by you will be deducted from your award. If you have any financial aid available after your tuition and fees charges are applied, you may have credit available at the bookstore. Any proceeds remaining from your award will be automatically direct deposited into your checking account. If the awarded aid covers only part of the bill, you will be responsible for the difference.
After you have received your financial aid, it’s important to understand what you need to do to keep it. Familiarize yourself with the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards you must meet in order to keep your financial aid.
