Financial Aid
Investing In Your Future
An FRCC education is an investment in your future. And it may be more affordable than
you think.
We know the biggest hurdle to finishing your education is just getting started. Financial
aid can help. Last year, we awarded $18 million in free scholarships and grants; you
may also qualify for loans and work-study jobs.
With the help of financial aid, you can take the fast track to new opportunities in
one of FRCC's 115 certificate programs, many that can be completed in as little as
a semester. Or pursue a degree: College grads earn hundreds of thousands of dollars
more over the course of their lives than those without degrees.
