Loans

Student loans can have a much lower interest rate than private loans and sometimes the interest is deferred while students are in school. Keep in mind that any money you borrow needs to be repaid. PPCC is a participant in the Federal Direct Loan Program in which students borrow Stafford Loan funds directly from the U.S. Department of Education rather than from a lender.

Student Employment

Student employment allows students to participate in the Federal Work-Study Program, allowing them to work part-time on campus while in school. 

Funds are available in both federal and state monies, and are paid directly to the student. 

Please be advised that all Student Employment (Student Staff) awards are based upon the availability of funds and may be revised during the school year without prior notice. In that event, every reasonable effort will be made to assist a student for the remainder of the year. This may include student loans, other positions, etc.
