Full Tuition Assistance Program

Have you or your family experienced financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic? Cuyahoga Community College’s Full Tuition Assistance program can help.

The College will cover Cuyahoga County residents’ tuition costs for one year of a Tri-C credit program or for the duration of a noncredit program. You can start or continue your education ― or gain the skills you need to rejoin the workforce quickly ― without incurring tuition expenses.

The Full Tuition Assistance program can help:

• Unemployed individuals who lost employment and/or income due to COVID-19, seeking a short-term credential, advanced training or a degree to increase their employability.
• Graduating high school students who planned to attend a four-year college or university this fall but have to reconsider due to financial hardship. 
• Current college students who are or were enrolled at a four-year college and can’t afford to return, but want to continue their education.

To be eligible, you must:

• Reside in Cuyahoga County
• Provide evidence of financial hardship due to COVID-19
• Enroll as a new or continuing Tri-C student for the Summer 2020 or Fall 2020 semester
• Additional program requirements are found in the Full Tuition Assistance FAQ document.

You must also complete the following:

• Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
• Loss of Income form, if applicable
