Financial Aid

Phillips Community College was founded on the belief in equal opportunity, the ideal of making the benefit of a community college education available to all, regardless of an individual’s financial need.

Apply for financial aid as early as possible.

When you have completed your financial aid packet, bring it by one of our campuses or mail it to P.O. Box 785, Helena, AR 72342-0785.

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:

  1. Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Financial Aid (FAFSA). These are available at all three campuses.

  2. Return the FAFSA to the Helena campus for electronic processing. (For Arkansas County, return the FAFSA to the DeWitt or Stuttgart campus for processing.

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

  4. 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:

    1. a copy of your high school transcript OR a copy of your most recent college academic transcript;

    2. a completed financial aid Student Data Form (available on all campuses).

If Eligible for Financial Aid:

  • If you are eligible for financial aid, you will receive an Award Letter from the PCCUA Helena campus financial aid office;

  • PCCUA staff will submit your awards form to the Business office.

  • If the amount of the award letter is greater than the cost of tuition and books, the balance is paid to you in two payments.

  • Remember: Students who totally withdraw from all of their classes may be required to repay federal dollars.
