Financial Aid

Danville Community College is committed in its belief that qualified students should have an opportunity to pursue educational objectives, regardless of financial resources.

To be considered for financial assistance, students must apply by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and have the results submitted to the Financial Aid Office.  In addition, the student must enroll in an eligible curriculum and make satisfactory academic progress in the program of study.

      Community College.

    3. You must pass three (3) SAP criteria to get aid. These guidelines must cover all periods of enrollment
      regardless of whether or not you have received financial aid in the past.
