Financial Aid Eligibility

Students pursuing an associate's degree or certificate may apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you are permitted to take a study-for-credit course as an audited course (no credit), no aid will be awarded for that course.

Transfer Students
When you transfer from one school to another, your financial aid does not automatically transfer to your new institution. You must add Community College of Philadelphia to your FAFSA by contacting the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 800-443-3243, or you may go online at www.fafsa.ed.gov, apply for a PIN and complete the change.

Guest Students
Guest students are students pursuing a degree at another college (home school) but are taking a few classes at Community College of Philadelphia (host school). Guest students are not eligible to receive financial aid from Community College of Philadelphia. Guest students should contact their home school Office of Financial Aid to inquire about consortium agreements.

Please note: Guest students are responsible for paying tuition charges at Community College of Philadelphia by payment match date. A processed consortium agreement does not constitute payment.
