Financial Aid

Welcome!

By choosing to attend East Central College you have made a smart educational and financial decision. East Central College offers a high quality education at a low cost. However, we realize that even though the cost to attend East Central is one of the lowest in the state, you may still need financial assistance. This information will help you find ways to lessen the financial burden of attending college.

Financial assistance is provided through many forms. Through a process of careful planning and preparation, higher education can be an obtainable goal. Each student must take the responsibility to review his or her goals, evaluate their family's financial situation and determine a course of action. Fortunately students do not have to do this entire process alone. The Office of Financial Aid is here to help you determine your course of action!

Before explaining how financial aid is determined and what sources of financial assistance are available it would be helpful to familiarize yourself with some of the terms you will encounter. Please read the Glossary of Terms so that you will better understand the information provided.
