Financial Aid provides students with the resources to attend Cankdeska Cikana Community College (CCCC). Financial aid services are designed to complement the student’s own resources. Financial aid consists of grants and scholarships, work-study programs, and waivers of tuition. Grants and scholarships are gifts of money that do not have to be repaid. Work-study (student employment) allows the student to work and earn money for educational purposes. 

The following process should be followed in applying for financial aid:

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online and list Cankdeska Cikana Community College’s federal school code – 015793 – on the FAFSA.

Students, parents, and borrowers are required to use an FSA ID, made up of a username and password, to access certain U.S. Department of Education websites. Your FSA ID is used to confirm your identity when accessing your financial aid information and electronically signing your federal student aid documents. Visit the FSA ID website.
