Paying for College
We understand that paying for college could be a tremendous challenge. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to many of the options available to finance your education. Camden County College can help you identify grants, scholarships, payment plans and other financial resources.
Federal Grants
TRiO Student Support Services
Student Support Services Program is a federally funded TRiO program designed to enable low-income, first-generation college students, and students with a documented disability to stay in college until they earn their degree or transfer to a four-year institution.

Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant Program provides need-based grants to low income, undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor’s or professional degree. Unlike a loan, it does not have to be repaid. The award amount is determined by the student’s financial need based on the information submitted on the FAFSA application and the student’s enrollment.

SEOG Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
SEOG is for undergraduates who are Pell Grant recipients to assist with additional educational expenses. Just like Pell Grants, the FSEOG does not have to be repaid but it is awarded on a first-come basis.

Much like the PELL grant from the federal government, many students may be eligible for additional need-based grant money from the state of New Jersey. However, additional information may need to be supplied from the student, and deadlines vary from the federal requirements.
