  • Financial Aid is available to all students who qualify. Students who are interested in applying for Federal Student Aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at https://studentaid.gov/. Even if you don't think you qualify, you should still apply. CTC uses your FAFSA application as part of the qualification process for other scholarships.

    The earlier you apply, the better, as all students must meet with the Financial Aid Specialist before receiving any financial aid.  The calculated FAFSA application should be available within five business days for your school to review if you electronically file your application.  
    After you receive an email back from the Federal Government stating your FAFSA application has been processed, please call 941-255-7500 Ext 1729 to schedule an appointment to meet with the Financial Aid Specialist.
