FAFSA简化

The 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available at StudentAid.gov; however, the delayed launch of the FAFSA delayed 皮马社区学院’s processing time. Despite the delays, PCC worked through the changes to begin processing as soon as possible. We are excited to announce the processing for the 2024-2025 academic year has begun. 检查你的 MyPima account and PCC student email account for updates. If you qualify for a Pell Grant, feel free to use the 佩尔助学金估算员 为秋季学期做准备.
