Financial Aid

Welcome to Pierce College Financial Aid, Scholarships and Veterans Office.  Our goal is to help students and their families seek, obtain, and make the best use of all resources available to help them finance the costs of attending Pierce College.  We aim to provide efficient and effective access to programs and service through personalized attention and the use of technology.  We are working to make sure our website offers a comprehensive resource for students and parents to find all the financial aid programs available at Pierce College.  Students can access their financial aid records online through the Student Information System (SIS). 

If you have any concerns about paying for college, please apply for financial aid on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov  Our Federal School Code is 001226.  Do not hesitate to contact us if you need any kind of assistance.  You may reach us in person during our regular office hours, by phone or by email.
