Federal Title IV CODE for ALL CAMPUSES AND CENTERS of the Community College of Allegheny
County is: 003231-00.
The Community College of Allegheny County offers several financial aid options to help ease the cost of tuition and fees. Financial Aid staff members seek to help you acquire aid as simply as possible. CCAC administers various federal and state financial aid funds. Grants, which do not require repayment, as well as loans and student employment programs, are available through the Office of Financial Aid. Financial aid may only be used for educational purposes and to pay costs associated with attending CCAC.
If you are expecting to receive financial aid, you can review your pending financial aid at MyCCAC. Navigate to CCAC Central e-Services and select "Students." Then click on "Financial Aid Self-Service."
It is your responsibility to compare your financial aid offer with your tuition and fee costs. If the financial aid is less than the total cost of tuition and fees, the balance is due by the tuition due date.
If you are applying for a student loan, you must also complete a Direct Loan Master Promissory Note and Student Loan Entrance Counseling in order for your loan to be processed.
Title IV (Pell grants and Direct Loans) Student Aid Unaffected by White House Federal Aid Pause
The White House has rescinded its recent directive to pause federal grants and loans, easing concerns over its impact on student financial aid. The Department of Education (ED) clarified that Title IV student aid, including HEA funds, remains exempt from the temporary funding freeze outlined in the now-rescinded memo from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). While the directive caused uncertainty regarding its scope, ED confirmed that financial assistance provided directly to individuals—such as federal student aid—was not included in the freeze. However, questions remain regarding the status of other federal aid programs. A federal judge temporarily blocked the pause and scheduled a hearing for February 3 to determine the next steps. NASFAA Interim President & CEO Beth Maglione expressed relief that Title IV Financial aid remains intact, emphasizing its critical role in college access and student success. NASFAA continues to work with ED to assess any further implications.
PA State Grant Update:
In the 2024-25 award year, PHEAA is transitioning to GrantUs—a new platform developed to support the administration of the PA State Grant and Special Programs. Students and organizations will use GrantUs to apply and manage eligibility for PHEAA-administered aid programs, such as the PA State Grant program and more!
PHEAA will notify students via email once they receive their student data from the FAFSA. The student will then create a GrantUs account and they will be able to complete the PA State Grant application process. Typically, only first-time applicants need to complete the PA State Grant application.
Due to the delays, PHEAA has shared that this information will not be sent until "the first half of March." at the very earliest.
