Direct FAFSA to CCBC - Deadline: ASAP
Contact: CCBC Financial Aid Office: 443-840-3088 or 443-840-3322
If you have already submitted a FAFSA, you must go online to
direct your application to CCBC (Code #002063). For additional financial aid
information, contact Barry Amos at 443-840-3088 or Mike Webster at

Scholarships must also redirect their state aid to CCBC. Additional
information is below.
Applying for Financial Aid
Do not wait for a bill from CCBC or Towson University to
apply for financial aid.
Students may begin applying for financial aid assistance now
at www.fafsa.gov. Information regarding estimated expenses as well as a
financial aid worksheet are available at the
Freshman Transition Program.
All financial aid will be administered by CCBC. Financial
aid includes:
Grants
Private, state and institutional
scholarships
Student loans
Alternative and Parent PLUS loans
Additional Information
Financial aid can be used to
pay both bills. Aid is first applied to the CCBC tuition bill. Remaining
aid can be used to pay the Towson University bill.
You may be selected for verification based
on the information
you provide on your FAFSA. Before a financial aid award letter can be
generated, you must submit all requested documentation. If you have received a Maryland State Scholarship, grant
or private scholarship, you must go online to
Maryland College Aid Processing System (MDCAPS) to redirect your
state aid to CCBC.
For other scholarships, you must contact the awarding
organization to advise them that you are changing institutions and to
redirect your funds to CCBC.
Your financial aid award may not cover the
total cost of your educational expenses. We encourage your
parents to apply for a Parent PLUS Loan to pay for
educational costs not covered by other forms of financial
aid. You may also want to consider applying for a student
loan. Both loans require paper applications that are
specific to the Freshman Transition Program. Loan
applications can be found at the
Freshman Transition
Program.
CCBC will inform Towson of anticipated financial aid
once the financial aid verification process is complete.
Students MUST apply for financial aid or redirect aid to
CCBC before the deadline in order for financial aid funds to appear on
TU or CCBC bills.
The required paper PLUS loan application will provide
the option for parents to make PLUS loan balances (the amount left over
after the CCBC tuition bill has been paid) available to either the
student or the parent borrower.
Should you
elect to make the balance available to the parent borrower, refund
checks will be mailed to the parent’s home address at which point
it will be the parent’s responsibility to use these funds to pay any
remaining balance at Towson University.
Should you
elect to make the balance available to the student, the funds will be
delivered to the Towson University Bursar’s Office to be signed by the
student and applied to the bill.
