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.

Financial Aid Eligibility

If you would like to receive financial aid from HCC, make sure you:

• Are enrolled as an undergraduate student pursuing a degree or eligible certificate
• Have an official high school transcript or GED on file with the Registrar.
• Are a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
• Maintain satisfactory academic progress
• Are not in default on any education loan
• Did not receive financial aid at more than one school for the same period of time
