GCC offers a number of opportunities to save or earn money towards college. Last year we helped students obtain more than $15 million in aid for education. Visit our Financial Aid Office for additional information on filing your FAFSA as well as available scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study positions to help you pay for college.

If you are applying for a restricted major, such as Nursing, please be aware that there may be additional admissions steps and requirements. Please visit the website of the restricted major which you are interested in for more information.

The college is currently determining placement based on many factors. Please work with an academic advisor or success coach to determine your placement.
