AFFORDING BCC​

Although college is definitely a worthwhile investment, it is often seen as unaffordable. Not at BCC! BCC offers 3 different types of financial aid packages depending on your needs.
These packages are:
1. Grants that do not have to be repaid
2. Loans on which interest rates are fairly low and have to be repaid upon graduation or leaving the college
3. part-time employment called "Work-Study"
