FINANCIAL AID

We know that Financial Aid and the process of paying for your college education can often seem overwhelming. In fact, how you will pay for college is probably the first or second question on your mind when thinking about your college choice. The Florida Christian College Financial Aid office is dedicated to walking this road with you, and making your college education as affordable as possible. Within these pages you will find helpful information explaining overall affordability, tuition and fees, the various forms of financial aid, and the financial aid process as a whole.

AFFORDABILITY

When speaking with students and their families about their college education, often the first question we hear is, "Can I afford it?" The question of affordability is extremely important and one that we look forward to answering. It is true that your college education is a significant financial investment, but you may be surprised to find out what the actual cost of a Florida Christian College education really is. Read on to find out more.

ANNUAL COST OF ATTENDANCE

In order to determine your yearly cost of attendance at FCC, it is important to understand the difference between BASE cost and OUT OF POCKET cost.

  • BASE COST is the flat dollar amount that represents where each student begins the financial aid process. This is the cost before any financial aid funds are taken into account. Essentially, this is the starting point. For an accurate picture of the cost of your college education, you must factor in all financial aid resources, and then examine your OUT OF POCKET COST cost.
  • OUT OF POCKET COST is the final amount you are responsible for after all financial aid resources have been taken into account. This is your actual cost.

A simple formula would look like this:

BASE COST (tuition/fees/housing) - FINANCIAL AID (grants/scholarships/loans) = OUT OF POCKET COST

THE REAL QUESTION

FCC's total annual base cost is lower than half of the national average for private colleges and universities. That puts FCC in the range of state and public institutions. The reason for this is the annual financial support we receive from supporting churches, alumni, and other donor individuals and organizations, which serves to pay much of the initial educational costs for our students. With one of the most affordable private Christian educations in the nation available to you, the real question is, "Can you afford not to be here?"
