At QCC, we're committed to making your academic dreams a reality by providing financial assistance opportunities to ensure you have the support you need to thrive. We have a wide variety of programs to assist students and our resources are plentiful - there’s always a way you can pay the bill and we are here to help.

Get Started on Saving

Take advantage of these resources to get an idea of what a QCC degree will cost and apply for financial aid.

Estimate Your Cost

Use the net price calculator to get an estimate of the costs to attend QCC. The calculator includes estimated costs for tuition and required fees, books and supplies, living expenses (including housing and food), and other education-related expenses. Note: Applying for financial aid can often assist you with your educational expenses. We do not offer campus housing, so actual living expenses will vary based on your current living arrangements. Financial Aid need-based grants are targeted to assist students with the direct costs of tuition, fees, books, and supplies.

Steps to Apply

Applying for financial aid is easy and free! Follow these simple steps to complete the FAFSA and reach out to us at any time if you have questions.

Thrive Financially & Professionally

A QCC degree will get you workforce-ready without worrying about your finances. Financial aid coupled with our already low costs make a college education possible for all.
