Financial Aid Options to Maximize Learning

When it comes to pursuing a raise, switching careers, securing a promotion, or moving up the corporate ladder, the right education can make all the difference. Earning that career-maximizing credential at an accessible rate raises the bar.
At the College of Continuing and Professional Studies (CCAPS), we’re here for your success at every step of your educational journey—even when it comes to funding that journey. We want to help keep costs low and educational and career expectations high.

FINANCIAL AID OPPORTUNITIES
Types of funding aid available differ according to student status. Depending on undergraduate or graduate status, degree-seeking students may have different funding options than those pursuing certificates or taking individual professional development coursework. (We also have scholarships specifically for non-credit-seeking students, as well as Dislocated Worker Funds.)

For many, the first step toward determining financial aid eligibility is by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) using code (003969). From there, one of our financial aid officers will contact you to determine exactly which benefits you are eligible to receive.

Funding options can include:

CCAPS Collegiate Scholarships

Cooperative and Campus-wide Scholarship

Non-University Scholarships

Regents Scholarship

Grants and Waivers

Federal Loans Direct
Unsubsidiezed Loan
Federal Direct Graduate Plus Loan

Self Loans

Private Loans
