Financial aid is any type of outside assistance that helps you pay for school. The most common types of aid are loans, grants, and scholarships. Grants such as the PELL Grant are “gift aid” from the federal government and do not have to be paid back. Our college only accepts cash and the PELL Grant, we do not process any financial aid loans.

If a question seems confusing, call the federal student aid hot line at 800-4-FED-AID, or ask a financial aid administrator at CCHD.
