The Community College of Baltimore County understands that there are many challenges facing parents today as they prepare to finance their child's education. The number of steps involved and the various forms to complete can seem overwhelming to those who have never experienced it before. In an attempt to answer some of the questions that may come up, the Financial Aid Offices of CCBC have created a page for the parents of prospective students.

Every student considering enrollment at CCBC is encouraged to apply for financial aid using the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Financial Aid Office uses the results of this application to determine each student's eligibility for federal grants, student employment, federal loans, institutional scholarships and some state scholarships. The Maryland Higher Education Commission also uses this form to determine eligibility for most state scholarships.

To the left, you will find various links that will take you either to informative pages within this web site or external web sites that are used to apply for aid or assist financial aid applicants. Whether your child qualifies for need based aid or not, the Financial Aid Offices are ready to assist you and the student to successfully manage the costs associated with advancing the student's education.
