How Do I Apply for Aid?

You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for federal, state, and some types of institutional aid. Keep in mind key deadlines: 

  • December: You may file your FAFSA for the following academic year (2024 - 2025) on or after this date. 
  • March 1: Priority deadline for EICC aid (date to submit your FAFSA form to potentially receive the most money). 
  • May 1: Deadline to file FAFSA and submit required paperwork for summer semester aid. 
  • July 1: Priority deadline for state of Iowa aid. 
  • July 15: Deadline to file FAFSA and submit required paperwork for fall semester aid 
  • Dec. 1: Deadline to file FAFSA and submit required paperwork for spring semester aid for 2024 - 2025

You’ll need your taxes from the prior-prior year to complete your FAFSA. For example, students entering college in the fall of 2022 can use their family’s tax information from 2020.

  • 001853 for Clinton Community College (CCC)
