Financial Aid is a combination of grants, scholarships, work-study and loans to help finance the cost of education.

 

Step One
Apply for admission to Broward College and complete the admission’s process as early as possible.  Submit official copies of your high school and post-secondary transcripts.

 

Step Two
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov (Broward College's school code is 001500). Broward College strongly encourages students and parents to elect the IRS data retrieval option when completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the web. This will greatly expedite the processing of your financial aid.
