Financial Aid
Heartland Community College (HCC) offers a variety of financial opportunities.
To determine your eligibility, we compare the cost of attending HCC and expected financial contributions of your and/or your parent(s)' and then we factor in your academic standing.
After you have been accepted as a student in an eligible curriculum at HCC and have demonstrated need, we try to meet that need by offering aid. This aid can consist of a grant, an on/off campus job, and/or a loan. Financial aid awards must be applied to educational expenses such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, transportation, child care, or other educational costs.
