Both formats provide the utmost flexibility, while still giving you the benefit of a real instructor, access to advising, tutoring and all other services available to our students.

You may still be wondering how you’ll pay for college. This is often the most stressful part for some students, but securing the funding is easier than you think.

EICC offers several options, and our team will help you through every step of the process.

Federal Student Aid is the largest provider of financial aid in the nation. It provides grants, loans and work study funds each year to millions of students. To qualify for federal student aid, you need to complete the FAFSA. The priority filing deadline for FAFSA is March 1. However, you can complete the FAFSA for the next school year starting on October 1 prior to starting college.

You’ll find everything you need to know at eicc.edu/fafsa

Priority Dates for Financial Aid Your FAFSA and all requested documents must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office by: Fall Semester - July 15 Spring Semester - December 1 Summer Semester - May 1

College Work Study

Federal College Work Study allows you to earn money to help you in funding your education. These are typically part-time jobs both on and off campus.

Loans

Student loans are borrowed funds that must be paid back, including interest and fees. You must also be enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours.

Visit eicc.edu/paying to explore all of your options and check out additional resources.
