Paying for College, What you need to know.
Join Financial Aid on June 15 at 2PM for a webinar on how COVID-19 has impacted financial aid and how to find grants, scholarships, and loans. RSVP now!

Financial aid can help you pay for college. Most students and families are eligible for some type of financial aid – from grants, scholarships, loans, or work-study. The Financial Aid Office at Austin Community College will work with you to explore options and access the funds you need to achieve a college education.
