3. How to Pay for College

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.
