STEP 1
Re-Applying to the College is easy and free!
Visit to complete an application for admission. Be sure to indicate that you were previously enrolled at the College and stopped attending for one year or longer where prompted.
STEP 2
Creating a plan to pay for college now can reduce stress later.
The College offers great academic and career programs with robust student support at a great value. Additionally, most students could qualify for a form of federal financial aid if they apply. Regardless of your planned method to fund your education, including textbooks and supplies, it is best to prepare early.
How do I complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for federal and state aid?
- Go to to complete the FAFSA.
- Enter 好莱污影院鈥檚 school code on the FAFSA: 007110
- Pay attention and respond promptly to all communications that follow from the U.S. Department of Education and the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA).
When should I complete the FAFSA?
Students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA as early as possible! The sooner you complete it, the sooner you will know how much you may be eligible to receive. Once your FAFSA is complete, you will be sent an award letter (text/email) with a breakdown of your cost of attendance and award eligibility to help you plan for funding your education. The FAFSA for each academic year opens October 1 of the year prior to the upcoming academic year (e.g., the 2023-2024 FAFSA opens October 1, 2022).
What if I want financial aid but classes start soon?
The College鈥檚 Office of Financial Aid continuously processes FAFSA applications as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, sometimes delays in processing occur. As a result, it is wise to be prepared to pay your bill or enroll in a payment plan if you have completed or will complete your FAFSA within a few weeks of the start of the semester in which you plan to enroll.
Where can I get help completing my financial aid paperwork?
Contact the Office of Financial Aid by calling 610-359-5330, emailing finaid@dccc.edu or scheduling an appointment to receive assistance in our Financial Aid Computer Lab. Be sure not to pay听anyone to help you complete your FAFSA. We will help you free of charge!
How do I apply for scholarships at the College?
The College has a select number of recruitment scholarships available, including the Kelleher Connect Career Opportunity Fund for select workforce certificate programs. Students must complete the FAFSA and a few other steps to be considered for scholarships. Contact the Admissions Office (admiss@dccc.edu | 610-359-5050) or visit for more information.
How do I apply for scholarships outside of the College?
External scholarships are available at websites such as fastweb.com, scholarships.com, myscholly.com, and niche.com. Please be sure to never pay to apply for a scholarship and contact the Financial Aid Office (finaid@dccc.edu | 610-359-5330) if you have any questions.
