All students requesting financial aid must complete a new application each academic year.

2006-2007

HCC accepts financial aid applications throughout the year. In order to receive priority consideration, however, you should complete your application by the following dates:

May 1, 2006 for the Fall/Spring academic year

November 1, 2006 for the Spring 2007 semester only

Housatonic Community College expects you, the student, to initiate the application process in a timely manner, and considers it your responsibility to complete the application on time. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. Students and their families should be aware that they are completing applications for federal, state, and college funds. Students are also expected to be familiar with the general provisions of financial aid. Information on financial aid programs, regulations, and procedures are found in the College catalog. Deliberately misreporting can result in criminal and civil liabilities. Late applicants will be awarded on a funds available basis. Application materials cannot be accepted after a student’s last date of attendance.

Payment Plan & Financial Aid: If you entered into a payment plan agreement (installment plan) you must continue to make payments until your financial aid request has been reviewed and finalized. An official award notification will be sent to you. If you have paid more than the balance owed, you will be refunded any overpayment after financial aid funds are disbursed.

Housatonic Community College encourages students to apply electronically for student financial aid. Our effort supports the activities of the U.S. Department of Education in making electronic delivery of student financial aid a reality for all students. Electronic processing is easier, faster and more efficient. How to Apply.
