Apply For Aid

BCC's Federal Title IV Code is 002167

Simply follow the steps below:

  1. Apply for admission to BCC by completing and submitting an application to the Admissions Office.

  2. Before you begin work on your financial aid application, gather the items you need.

  3. Save time by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) electronically at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Students filing electronically will automatically be sent a PIN. Use the PIN to electronically sign your FAFSA, correct FAFSA information over the Internet, file a Renewal FAFSA on the Web the following year, or gain access to other useful Department of Education websites.

    If you choose to file a paper application, FAFSA's are available at financial aid offices and high school guidance offices. Mail your completed FAFSA to the Federal Processor and allow 4-6 weeks for paper processing.

    The FAFSA is the only application form you'll need to complete to receive aid at BCC, and remember, applying for federal student aid is FREE.

  4. If you need help with any part of the application or you're wondering what happens next, contact us.

To get the most money you can qualify for at BCC, apply by May 1 each year. However, you could still receive aid even if you miss the May 1 priority filing date; we process applications year-round. You must re-apply every year as soon after January 1 as possible.
