Financial aid comes in many different forms; it may be a grant, scholarship, part-time employment, or a combination of these. Basically, financial aid is money, or the opportunity to earn money, to help pay for educational expenses. In order to qualify for financial aid, students must complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). In addition, they need to obtain a PIN (personal identification number) in order to electronically sign the FAFSA and submit the school code for CCCC (005449).
