CT State Community College (CT State) campuses statewide will host FAFSA sessions this summer to support individuals in filing their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). 

Prospective and current students, along with their parents, are invited to attend sessions at CT State campuses Asnuntuck (Enfield), Capital (Hartford), Gateway (New Haven), Housatonic (Bridgeport), Manchester, Middlesex (Middletown), Naugatuck Valley (Waterbury), Northwestern (Winsted), Norwalk, Quinebaug Valley (Danielson), Three Rivers (Norwich) and Tunxis (Farmington).   

Staff from Financial Aid Services offices will be available to assist with FAFSA-related questions and renewals. Check with local campuses for exact dates and times. A link to these events is also available on the CT State website calendar: https://calendar.ctstate.edu/all/search/fafsa.

Prospective college students still have time to apply and receive free tuition for fall 2024 semester at any of CT State’s campuses statewide, and can enroll full- or part-time.  

The first steps are to apply to CT State Community College at ctstate.edu/apply and complete the 2024-2025 FAFSA at FAFSA.gov, selecting CT State’s 007635 federal school code. A FAFSA form is required regardless of family income for those who may be eligible. Free tuition is an option even if no other financial aid is awarded, as long as funds remain available. To see eligibility requirements, visit ctstate.edu/free-tuition. 

CT State offers more than 300 associate degrees and certificates as well as short-term career training certifications. These programs prepare students for transfer to four-year degree programs and careers in areas with industry need. Fall credit classes begin August 28.
