Getting Started

Paying for college doesn't have to be overwhelming!  At Chandler-Gilbert Community College, we're here to help you explore financial aid options, understand the application process, and find the resources you need to reach your educational goals.

Financial aid can help cover the cost of college, including tuition, fees, books, supplies, and other educational expenses. Options include grants, scholarships, student loans, and Federal Work-Study.

Whether you're attending full-time or part-time, applying for the first time or returning for another semester, we encourage you to apply for financial aid each year, even if you're unsure whether you'll qualify. We're here to help you every step of the way.
