Welcome to Student Financial Assistance!
Casper College financial assistance programs are designed to help students pay their educational expenses. The most common types of financial assistance are scholarships, loans, and employment.
The College views financial assistance as supplementary to the efforts of students and their families, not a replacement for those efforts.
The College is also an active participant in the Title IV, Federal Financial Aid Programs. Applicants who have their annual federal paperwork on file with Casper College before May 1st will receive priority consideration.
