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?"
