Students are informed of financial aid awards via a DCCCD award notice. These are mailed and/or e-mailed to students by the Scholarships/Financial Aid Office beginning in early summer, after the FAFSA is filed and all required information is submitted.
The following formula is used to determine award amounts:
Cost of Attendance - Expected Family Contribution = Estimated Financial Need
When a student enrolls at Brookhaven College, an account for that student is created in the college's billing/receivables system. Charges or withdrawals from the account include education costs such as course tuition and fees. Credits or deposits to the account include any financial aid awards, such as tuition waivers, grants, and scholarships, as well as any payments made on the student's behalf. Each August the schedule for funds disbursement is published.
