Financial Aid

The primary purpose of the student financial aid program at Halifax Community College is to provide assistance to students who, without aid, would be unable to continue their education. Through a program of grants, scholarships, loans, and employment, students enrolled at Halifax Community College are able to supplement their own resources and those of their family to complete a course of study. Eligible students are awarded a financial aid package consisting of one or more of these types of assistance, based on their financial need. The primary responsibility for financing the student’s education rests with the family. The family is expected to contribute according to its income and assets, just as the student is expected to contribute to educational costs.
