Financial Aid
Beaufort County Community College strives to provide financial assistance to all students who demonstrate financial need and ensure qualified students are not denied the opportunity to an education due to the lack of financial resources. The student financial aid program is designed to assist students with educational expenses supplementing family resources to pursue educational goals. BCCC offers federal and state grants, scholarships, loans, and student employment. Eligible students may receive one or more of these types of financial aid to assist with tuition, fees, books, and other education-related expenses.
All students who have completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are considered for all types of financial aid without regard to the student’s race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or disability. In all financial aid awards, students have the right to accept or decline any aid offered.
General Financial Aid Eligibility
Financial Aid eligibility is based on taxable income, untaxed income
and benefits, assets, family size, and the number of family members
attending post-secondary institutions, as well as other factors. Other
eligibility requirements include your academic performance record,
enrollment status, state residency, and student loan borrowing history. To receive federal and state financial assistance, a student must:
- Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen
- Have a valid Social Security Number
- Have a valid high school diploma or high school equivalency on file with the College
- Demonstrate financial need via the completion of the FAFSA

FAFSA
The first step to receiving aid is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students wishing to be considered for state aid, as well as, federal and campus-based programs such as the Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG and Federal Work-Study, must have their FAFSA submitted to the federal processor no later than July 1.
