Am I Eligible for Financial Aid?

Who is Eligible?

Certain grants, scholarships and loans are need based. The Department of Education will determine your need based on information that you put on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This amount is called your Estimated Family Contribution (EFC). FTCC uses this formula to determine need.

Cost of Attendance Minus estimated family contribution Minus any outside resources = Financial Need

Other grants, scholarships and loans are merit, program or criteria based. You must meet the conditions of that particular aid in order to qualify. 

To qualify for financial aid, you must:

  • Be enrolled in an eligible program of study.
  • Maintain satisfactory academic standing.
  • Not be in default on a federal educational loan or owe a repayment to a federal grant.
  • State and federally funded aid programs require:
    • U.S. citizenship
    • Permanent residency
    • North Carolina residency (state funds only)
