Do you need financial assistance to pay for college? Want to know if you qualify for financial assistance? Do you want to know if you are eligible for assistance? Want to know when to apply? City College’s Student Financial Services Department will assist you in applying for any aid for which you may be eligible.

As soon as you enroll in school, you should apply for financial aid. Some aid is limited and is more likely to be available if you apply early. You will find the appropriate application forms in your enrollment packet.

Our Financial Aid Officers will ask you to bring along certain financial information. Together, will assess the cost of your education, find federal grants, loans, state aid, veterans benefits, private loans, work study, scholarships, and make a determination how much of your costs may be covered through financial assistance.
