At PCC, we strive to meet as much of each student's financial need as possible. However, please be aware that financial aid may not cover 100% of your expenses. You and your parents (if applicable) are expected to contribute towards educational costs first.

• be a U.S. citizen or an eligibile noncitizen;
• have a valid Social Security number;
• be enrolled in an eligible program of study;
• be working toward a degree or certificate;
• maintain satisfactory academic progress;
• provide consent and approval to have your federal tax information transferred directly into your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form; and
• sign the certification statement on the FAFSA form stating that you are not in default on a federal student loan, you do not owe any money on a federal student grant, and you'll only use federal student aid for educational purposes.
