FAFSA Application Process
Applying for financial aid is an annual process. Each family member who plans to attend college should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon after October 1st as possible for the following academic year.
Grants & Scholarships
Grants and scholarships are often called “gift aid” because they are free money—financial aid that doesn’t have to be repaid. Grants are often need-based, while scholarships are usually merit-based. Carteret Community College Financial Aid Office awards scholarships to new, incoming students, continuing students, and graduating students and all students are encouraged to apply.

Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA)
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (Buckley Amendment), Carteret Community College is committed to protecting privacy for all students, including distance learning students.
Code of Conduct
Carteret Community College’s financial aid professionals are expected to maintain exemplary standards of professional conduct in all aspects of carrying out their responsibilities, specifically including all dealings with any entities involved in any manner in student financial aid, regardless of whether such entities are involved in a government sponsored, subsidized, or regulated activity.
Financial Aid Appeal
If a student’s financial aid is terminated they may appeal the decision. To do so, students must attend one Financial Aid Workshop. During the workshop, students will have the opportunity to speak with a knowledgeable staff member who will guide the student through the appeal process.
To schedule a telephone workshop and begin the appeal process, students should contact the Financial Aid Office at (252)222-6293 or email financialaid@carteret.edu.
