Champion’s goal is to equip you for success without placing heavy financial burdens on students or their families. That’s why we keep one of the lowest tuition rates in the state and offer a wide range of scholarships and financial aid options, including federal and state aid based on eligibility, academic performance, and available funds. To explore your options, you can find Financial Aid, use our Financial Calculators, and connect with our Financial Advisors.
The following section outlines all the financial aid available to undergraduate students—including Federal Aid through FAFSA, State Aid scholarships, and Institutional Academic Scholarships.
ELIGIBILITY: Champion Christian College accepts Federal Student Aid. Visit fafsa.ed.gov to apply for Federal Student Aid and get more information on eligibility.
APPLICATION: If you have already filed a FAFSA, do not complete another application. If you did not include the Federal School Code for Champion Christian College on the FAFSA you submitted, access the FAFSA already completed and add school code 042761 for Champion Christian College. To complete a FAFSA, the student and a parent must use a unique Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID). To create your own unique FSA ID, please go to https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create- account/launch. You will need prior tax and other financial information for you (and your parents if you are under the age of 24) to complete the FAFSA. We highly recommend using the IRS Data Retrieval function in the FAFSA to retrieve unaltered student and parent tax data from the IRS to populate the appropriate FAFSA fields. Doing so provides a more accurate result and reduces the additional documents required to process the file when it arrives at the college. Following completion and submission of your FAFSA, the financial aid office should receive your results in approximately 3-5 business days.
