Financial Aid

Students at CCAD are required to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. This form can be filed electronically at http://fafsa.ed.gov. Results from your FAFSA are then sent by the U.S. Department of Education electronically to CCAD's Financial Aid office. If you are not applying for federal financial aid and have questions about this requirement, please contact One-Stop Student Services at 614.222.3295.

You will need the college code number when filing—our code number is 003039. The government will forward your results to CCAD. We will receive these results electronically.

Note: The college provides computers in the One-Stop Student Services area for those who wish to file online and do not have computer access.
