START BUILDING A FUTURE YOU CAN BE PROUD OF

Financials should never be a roadblock in your education, but we understand that they can be. Unfortunately, “How am I going to pay for this?” is often one of the first questions our students ask before applying. Here at Florida Career College, we want to help you find the right answer.

• Applying For Financial Aid

  To apply for financial aid, all you have to do is meet the eligibility requirements and be a current student at FCC! The next step for you will be submitting these forms:

  • Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

  • A list of schools (beyond high school) previously attended

  • Completed loan applications or an FSA ID

  • Personal references with a valid address and phone number

  • Once the above is submitted, the Financial Aid Office will notify you if further documentation is needed.

• General Eligibility Requirements

  If you’re interested in receiving federal student aid, you must:

  • Be enrolled in an academic program leading to a degree or diploma

  • Have certification of a high school diploma or equivalent

  • Not be in default on a student loan or owe a refund on a federal grant received at another institution

  • Maintain satisfactory academic progress, as outlined in the school’s catalog

  • Be a United States citizen or eligible non-citizen

  Eligibility is determined through a formula filled in with the information you provide on your FAFSA. The amount of federal financial aid offered will vary based on your financial need.

• Federal Loan Repayment Options

  You have options with federal loan repayment plans and you can change your repayment plan at any time. If you need help or have more questions, you will need to contact your federal loan servicer to determine which repayment option best fits you. Depending on which plan you chose, your payments and length of payment period will vary. Here are the different repayment plan options available to you:

  • Standard Repayment Plan

  • Graduated Repayment Plan

  • Extended Repayment Plan

  • Revised Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan (REPAYE)

  • Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan (PAYE)

  • Income Contingent Repayment (ICR) (Direct Loan Only)

  • Income-Sensitive Repayment (FFEL Only)
