HOW AWARDS ARE CALCULATED & DETERMINED You and/or your family are expected to contribute to your education from your own earnings and assets according to your and your family’s means. This takes into account income, assets, household size, and other relevant information. Financial aid is made available after a determination that your or your family’s resources are insufficient to meet your educational expenses. Federal, state, and College guidelines and regulations of the various financial aid programs are also considered, as well as current funding levels. Selection of financial aid recipients is made in accordance with CCV’s Non-Discrimination Policy. In most cases, the amount of financial aid offered will not exceed the amount needed to meet the difference between your total educational expenses and your (or your family’s) resources. In cases where funds are limited, priority is given to students who complete all relevant paperwork in a timely manner. The College determines cost of attendance for its students. The cost reflects a reasonable allowance for room and board, books, supplies, travel, personal expenses, and any applicable loan fee. (Purchase of a car or a computer are not calculated in the cost of attendance.) You are responsible for obtaining textbooks before the first class meeting. If your financial aid is adequate, up to $500 of textbook costs may be charged against it. The CCV Financial Aid Advance to Purchase Textbooks (FAAPT) can be completed online. We realize that there may be great disparity between the amounts of travel required for students to attend classes that are held in locations all over the state. In order to treat all students equally, an average travel allowance is computed each academic year and is applied uniformly to all student budgets. If you have attended another college within the last 12 months, CCV will access the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) to determine your past federal financial aid. The result could affect the amount of aid for which you are eligible for the balance of the financial aid year. Your enrollment status also influences the amount of financial aid you can be awarded. Enrollment per semester, for financial aid purposes, is as follows: 3 - 5 credits................................................less than half-time 6 - 8 credits..................................................................half-time 9 - 11 credits...............................................three-quarter time 12 or more credits ......................................................full-time
