Bladen Community College offers a financial aid program to provide monetary assistance to deserving students in meeting the cost of attending college. Although students and students’ parents are primarily responsible for financing a college education, financial assistance may be available to students in the form of federal and state grants, scholarships, and work study programs. Most aid is granted on the basis of need. The Financial Aid Office utilizes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine student eligibility for financial aid. After the Financial Aid Office receives the FAFSA application from the federal processer, the student will be informed of any required documentation needed to complete the student’s financial aid file. All students are encouraged to apply and take an early initiative in seeking financial assistance.
