Attention Students:

Please be aware that there have been important changes to the Financial Aid process for the upcoming Fall semester.

Prior to the fall semester, ALL Financial Aid applicants were required to submit supporting paperwork/documentation (verification worksheets, tax forms, etc.) to verify information submitted on their FAFSA.

This requirement will only apply to students selected for verification by the Department of Education.

If you are one of the applicants selected for verification, you will be contacted directly by BRCC’s Office of Financial Aid to submit additional supporting paperwork.

If you have submitted your FASFA for the 2012-2013 school year, you will soon be receiving an award letter from the Office of Financial Aid.  Until that time, you can continue to prepare for the upcoming Fall semester by registering for your classes.  You can read about important changes to the registration process here to get started.

If you have not yet submitted your FASFA, you can start that process here.  Also, note that BRCC offers several scholarship opportunities…information on BRCC scholarships and an application packet can be obtained here.
