    The first thing you need to do is complete your FAFSA. That’s code for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It’s a big deal. Because it determines your eligibility for federal grants, loans and work-study employment and potentially additional aid from CCAD. Add CCAD to your list with this code: 003039. 100% of our students receive scholarship or aid from CCAD.
