There are several ways that Pikes Peak students pay for their education. 

1. Submit the FAFSA or CAFSA. Financial aid is based on your income and offered in multiple forms:

• Grants (money you do not pay back)
• Loans (money you must pay back)
• Work Study (a type of student employment) 
• Scholarships (money you do not pay back)

Complete your FAFSA for the desired aid year OR update your FAFSA with PPSC's school code: 008896. If you are not eligible to complete the FAFSA based on citizenship status, learn more about ASSET and complete the Colorado Application for Student Financial Aid (CASFA). 

If you need help completing the FAFSA or CASFA, we encourage you to attend a FAFSA Lab, or visit the Centennial or Rampart Range campuses to meet with a Financial Aid Advisor.
