4. Make a plan to pay for college

There are several ways that PPCC students pay for their education.

1. Submit the FAFSA
Financial aid is based on your income and offered in multiple forms:

Grants (money you do not pay back)
Loans (money you must pay back)
Work Study (a type of student employment)
Scholarships (money you do not pay back)

Complete your FAFSA for the desired aid year OR update your FAFSA with PPCC's school code: 008896.

If you need help completing the FAFSA, we encourage you to attend the FAFSA Lab or visit Centennial or Rampart Range campuses to meet with a financial aid advisor.
