ATTENTION ALL FINANCIAL AID STUDENTS:

BEGINNING WITH THE FALL 2011 ALL NOTIFICATIONS TO STUDENTS (MISSING DOCUMENT LETTERS, AWARD LETTERS, DIRECT LOAN UPDATES, ETC.) WILL BE SENT VIA EMAIL TO EACH STUDENTS PRIMARY EMAIL ADDRESS. STUDENTS WHO NEED TO UPDATE THEIR PRIMARY EMAIL MUST CONTACT THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE.

One of COM's best qualities is our affordability and our ability to financially assist our students. Our financial aid web page is another effort to communicate valuable information to assist students in securing the most beneficial financial aid package each may be eligible to receive.

The most successful applicants start early in their high school years to explore financial aid and scholarship opportunities. They prepare early to submit all applications and documentation well in advance of their enrollment in order to ensure timely completion and notification of their award status.

We encourage you to review our page and check out the helpful links we provide.

  • SUMMER - May 1st

Applications submitted after these dates will be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis and could be processed AFTER PAYMENT DEADLINE DATES.  In this situation, students must make other payment arrangements before the payment deadline date(s) but will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses by the financial aid they are eligible to receive after processing is completed.
