community college education available to all, regardless of
an individual’s financial need.

Financial Need: Financial aid is
awarded to students who show financial need and who are
maintaining satisfactory progress as defined by the
institution.
How to Apply:

You will receive notification in the
mail of the status of your financial aid within two to
three weeks.

If you are attending PCCUA classes
for the first time and you are eligible to receive
federal financial aid, you will need to submit the
following information:

transcript OR a copy of your most recent college
academic transcript;

aid, you will receive an Award Letter from the PCCUA
Helena campus financial aid office;

their classes may be
required to repay federal dollars.
