Financial Aid

If you’ve had a change in your financial situation due to COVID, please click here to see how Sussex can help you.

SCCC's financial aid programs are here to help and we encourage students to apply for financial assistance.

All students should file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

File a FAFSA as soon as possible

This is your application for Federal and State* financial aid, which most students don’t realize they qualify for this type of aid. Apply early to be considered for maximum grant aid. Remember to file your taxes and your FAFSA.

• It is free to file a FAFSA and you should not be prompted to pay upon completion of the application. 
• Most financial aid is not automatically renewable and a new application should be filed at the beginning of a calendar year, upon completion of your Federal Tax Return (if applicable).
• You can view financial aid awards as well as documents required to complete your file on the student portal under the Student Tab. Use your Student Email when communicating with our staff.
