Financial aid can help you pay for college. Most students are eligible for some type of assistance – 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.
How to Apply
The first step is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and include ACC’s FAFSA code 012015 on your application.
Non-citizens and undocumented students
Non-citizens and undocumented students with Texas residency, follow these instructions to apply for state aid.
Continuing Education students
ACC offers various ways for continuing education students to fund their education, including grant funds for select programs. Learn more on the website.
When to Apply
Apply as early as October 1 each year for the best financial aid options. Some funds are limited, so the sooner you apply the better your chances of accessing first come, first served resources.

- Spring – October 15
