The financial aid process:

Once your FAFSA is processed by the U.S. Department of Education, our institution will receive notification.
-
We will send you an email (to the address listed on your FAFSA) requesting additional documentation. There will always be additional documentation.
-
You will need to complete and return those forms to the Financial Aid office at Spokane Community College by the priority deadline listed above.
- Once this process is complete, you will be notified by mail of your eligibility for aid along with additional options you may have.
You may check your financial aid status online at any time, please visit our Financial Aid Portal.
Your parents can apply to receive a Federal PLUS loan to help cover your tuition.
Note: If the parent of a dependent student applies for a Federal PLUS loan and is denied, the student may
then borrow an additional unsubsidized loan. This will increase the student's total loan eligibility to $5,383.00.
**PLEASE NOTE: Because of FERPA regulations, it is very important that the students themselves contact our office
and/or complete the FAFSA application and any additional paperwork required when applying for financial aid. If students wish
to have information disclosed to any other person, they will need to complete and submit a
CCS AUTHORIZATION TO
RELEASE FINANCIAL INFORMATION form
