ApplicationProcess

The Financial Aid office provides financial assistance to individuals who have completed the financial aid process and are eligible for aid as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WAFSA). For more information regarding eligibility requirements visit EverettCC.edu/FA Processing an application and receiving an offer of aid can take approximately 8 to 12 weeks. It is important to apply well in advance of the anticipated start date. To be considered for maximum funding, students need to submit their FAFSA and complete required EvCC paperwork by the priority deadlines for the following academic year, which starts in Summer. (Applications are reviewed every quarter on a funds-available basis.) Please visit EverettCC.edu/ImportantDates Assistance in completing the process is available in the Financial Aid office.

TypesofFinancialAidAvailable

EvCC participates in the following federal and state financial aid programs: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant, Federal Work Study, Federal Direct Loans, Washington State Need Grant, College Bound, Passport to College Promise Scholarship, Washington State Work Study, EvCC Grant, and Tuition Waiver.

Note: Tuition waivers do not pay for lab fees, technology fees, parking fees, or class fees charged for self-support classes. Financial aid programs can be divided into three broad categories: grants, work, and loans.

Grants require no repayment. Work study is part-time employment on/off campus with an hourly pay rate. Loans are repaid, with interest, usually after a student ceases to be enrolled at least half-time (6 credits). Aid recipients usually receive a combination of aid types. Aid awarded focuses on direct educational expenses: tuition, books, supplies, and transportation. Indirect costs such as room/board and childcare are also considered.
