The College Financing Plan is a consumer tool the College uses to notify students, who file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and/or are using Veterans Affairs Educational Benefits, about their financial aid packages. It is a standardized form designed to help students make informed decisions about funding their education who have applied to multiple institutions.
Since colleges and universities use many different formats for their award letters, students may find it difficult to compare the financial aid offers from various schools. The College Financing Plan is a standardized form used by schools that have agreed to comply with the VA’s Principles of Excellence. The Principles are designed to help ensure that students can make good educational and financial decisions using a clear, comparative tool that evaluates various financial aid awards. The College Financing Plan reflects figures that are estimates only and all tuition rates and fees are subject to change without notice.
Alvin Community College has made this tool available within the Financial Aid Portal, which may be accessed after logging in to the POD. Click on Students>My Financial Aid>Financial Aid>Financial Aid tab>College Financing Plan.
Please note that data may appear only if you have a financial aid application on file and/or are receiving State or Federal veteran education benefits. Details about veteran benefits may not be available on the CFP. Click here, for more information on Veteran Benefits.
