Important Dates

Applications that are completed by June 1 will have priority on aid funds for the following year. A completed file consists of the Student Aid Report (SAR), completed admissions requirements for Craven Community College and any additional documentation required by the Financial Aid Office. Applications for financial aid that are completed and received before March 31 of each year will be given priority consideration for FSEOG. This means that you are assured of your share of available funds. To be considered for the North Carolina Student Incentive Grant (NCSIG), your FAFSA must be processed by March 15. Students with an incomplete aid application file will be expected to pay tuition and book costs on the day they register for each semester. NOTE: Students must reapply each academic year for financial aid.
Scholarships established by private contributions from individuals, business organizations and clubs provide aid to students who meet specific donor criteria. Students interested in scholarships should contact the Financial Aid Office for appropriate applications and deadlines.
