HOW DOES THE FINANCIAL SIDE WORK?Each student will complete the FAFSA, apply any grants to their account, and then will have access to an additional “CSEA Student Success Grant (CSSG). The most a student will have in annual out of pocket costs is $4,500, for many it will be significantly less, and for some, the out of pocket costs are expected to be zero. E-textbooks and fees are included in the out-of-pocket maximum.

Students who have not yet earned an Associate degree will complete this first through the CSEA Free College program. There are no out of pocket costs to earn an Associate degree.
