Welcome to Student Financial Services
We're here to help.
The mission of the Student Financial Services is to strive to remove financial barriers to student enrollment and retention. We strive to provide our students and parents with the information they need to make good decisions about attending and paying for college. We seek to assure that any qualified student who desires to pursue and complete education has access to the appropriate financial resources to pursue their academic goals.
Tuition and Fees
College is an investment in you and at COTC, our tuition is affordable. Our Student Financial Services team wants to help you understand tuition costs, ways to pay tuition, and how to keep your account current.
We can help you through the financial aid process.
We encourage all students to complete or file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In most cases, students are eligible for some type of federal financial aid regardless of income. Students must complete a FAFSA each academic year they plan to enroll in classes.
COTC’s priority deadline to file the 2024-25 FAFSA is March 15. Students can still be eligible for financial aid even if they miss the priority date, but they may not be awarded the maximum amount of aid possible.
Scholarships
More than $1.3 million in scholarships available annually.
A scholarship is financial aid that assists students with paying for their education that does not have to be repaid. COTC scholarships are available to recent high school graduates and new, current and returning students.
