Welcome to South Seattle College Financial Aid!

South Seattle College’s Financial Aid Office works to support equity and to increase opportunities for student access to and success in higher education by helping students seek, obtain, and understand all financial resources available to them. The Financial Aid Office provides information on student aid eligibility, types of aid available, and policies and guidelines for federal, state and institutional programs. Financial aid staff can assist you in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA) or answer any questions along the way. Financial Aid staff will serve you well.
All students in need should apply for financial aid – do not assume you are not eligible! You do not need to be a full-time student to receive financial aid funds.

If your financial aid has been cancelled for not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), you may appeal to reinstate your aid. Complete the SAP Appeal form. Please note that submitting an appeal does not guarantee reinstatement of financial aid eligibility.
