About Financial Aid

Cayuga is committed to making attendance possible for students who would otherwise be denied a college education because of inadequate funds. Our staff will work closely with you to help you meet the cost of tuition, fees, books, room, board, and personal expenses. From assistance in filling out forms to answering questions about your aid package, we are here to help you.

Cayuga Community College establishes a student budget that includes tuition, fees, books, room, board, and personal expenses. Only the amounts for tuition and fees will appear on your billing statement but other expenses are calculated into the student budget for the purpose of establishing need and awarding aid.

Certain standards must be met in order to maintain eligibility for both federal and state aid, as well as for certain campus-based grants and scholarships. Contact the Financial Aid Office at finaid@cayuga-cc.edu for more information.
