Financial aid (federal and non-federal) provides funds for direct and indirect college expenses. Direct expenses are generally those expenses charged directly to your student account, such as tuition, fees, and room and board if you live on campus. Indirect expenses are those that you pay out of pocket such as books and transportation to and from college, etc. Students who are awarded financial aid may receive any or all of these forms of aid which are composed of federal and non-federal monetary assistance.
Federal student aid is financial assistance offered by the United States Department of Education (USDOE) to eligible students enrolled in eligible programs at participating schools to cover school expenses, including tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and transportation. Most federal aid is need-based. Determination of financial need will be based upon the financial aid information that students and parents submitted.
This Financial Aid Handbook below is your student guide to information about financial aid programs and policies at Palau Community College (PCC). Please read it carefully so you can become familiar with the process of applying for financial aid, know what programs are available, and understand what you must do to remain eligible to receive financial aid while a student.
All financial aid applicants must complete a FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID (FAFSA) form for each award year. Some students may be required to complete and submit more forms than others, depending on their individual circumstances. A packet of financial aid application materials are distributed to continuing students during the financial aid orientation sessions held each year. The same financial aid packet is distributed to all high school seniors during the Financial Aid Nights sessions held each year, where PCC financial aid staff visit all the local high schools to discuss financial aid programs, requirements and assist students and parents in completing forms. Assistance in completing the FAFSA paper and online applications are also done during orientations and Financial Aid Night Sessions. Below lists the packet of financial aid application materials.
