Payment considerations for students who receive Financial Aid:

Please make sure you have submitted a FAFSA for the 2022-2023 Academic Year: https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
Beginning the Fall 2023 semester, and through the summer of 2023, we will be working in conjunction with the US Department of Education to transition into the Connecticut State Community College. As of October 1, 2022, if you intend on completing a FAFSA application for the Fall 2023 semester and beyond, you must use the federal school code: 007635. We are aware that this federal school code will identify Capital Community College on the FAFSA, however, we have been advised that the US Department of Education will update the college name on the FAFSA in the summer of 2023. If you do not list our new federal school code, we will be unable to process your financial aid application for your Fall 2023 semester and the 2023-2024 academic year.

Payment considerations for students who are “self-pay:”

For Spring 2023 classes –
- Fees are due at the time of registration.
- Spring 2023 Tuition is due by
- Payment plans usually begin June 1 for the Spring semester. Currently, payment plans are not available for the winter semester.
If you do not receive financial aid, you may sign up for a payment plan. The payment plan breaks tuition payments into three equal monthly installments. Please email businesslink@threerivers.edu to discuss your payment options.

Three Rivers College Foundation Awards Additional $250,000 in Scholarships for Spring Term to help with Pandemic

The Three Rivers College Foundation is excited to announce that it will give out an additional $250,000 in scholarships and awards for the 2021 Spring Semester to assist current Three Rivers Community College students with the many difficulties they are facing due to the Pandemic. The monies will be used to remove financial barriers such as tuition, books, fees, online learning codes, and technology needs.

Current Three Rivers students can complete a brief online application at www.trcc.commnet.edu/student-support, which will be reviewed by a small committee of administrators, faculty, and staff. Funds will be awarded until the monies are exhausted.

According to the TRC Foundation Scholarship Chair, Nikki Gullickson, “The TRC Foundation recognizes the need to expand our current scholarship offerings to assist students in registering for and completing the Spring term. This funding will complement our current Summer and Fall program that awards over an additional $400,000 annually. Many of our most vulnerable students have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, and now, more than ever, students need this financial assistance to achieve the education they have been working hard to attain.”

In March, when COVID-19 hit, the Three Rivers College Foundation Board also enacted emergency funding and purchased 60 laptops to assist students and faculty during the crisis. The laptops remain on-loan for students in need. Students can apply for a laptop at www.trcc.commnet.edu/computer-loan.

As the College works in new ways to provide educational opportunities for success, the TRC Foundation will remain flexible in providing additional support to students as they build a brighter future for themselves, their families and our shared community.

Those would like to contribute to the fund, can visit www.threerivers.edu/giving to donate today.

Free Community College!

If you are starting college this fall as a first-time college student …

then you might be eligible for free tuition through PACT. To qualify for the program, you must apply, register for 6 credits or more, and fill out the FAFSA.

Or, if you are returning and received PACT last year …

then you continue to be eligible for free tuition through PACT. However, you must register for classes and fill out the FAFSA by as soon as possible for the fall semester and by November 15 for the spring semester.

PACT is the Pledge to Advance Connecticut. It will allow eligible Connecticut residents to earn a degree or certificate from a community college without taking on debt. PACT provides financial support for first-time students who meet the qualifications. The program covers tuition and fees for full time students for 36 months or a maximum of 72 credits earned within that time, and for part time students for 48 months or a maximum of 72 credits earned within that time.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1581095731856{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Qualifications

There is a diverse community of students at TRCC and not everyone will qualify for PACT. If you do not qualify for PACT there are still multiple forms of assistance that students can receive such as financial aid and scholarships as well as support from the Three Rivers College Foundation.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title=”Who Qualifies?” tab_id=”1579883893884-15a5e738-dc1e”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1652886761832{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

To have your tuition and fees covered by the PACT program you must meet the following requirements:

Live in the State of Connecticut
Be a Connecticut high school, GED program, or home school program graduate
Attend college for the first time (transfer & re-admission students do not qualify) OR be a returning student who received PACT last year
Fill out FAFSA and accept all available financial aid each year. This financial aid package is available on a first-come/first-serve basis until funds run out. There is no separate application for PACT. The financial aid office will automatically determine a student’s eligibility and award based on the program criteria.
Apply to Three Rivers Community College or another Connecticut Community College if you are a new student
Register in a credit degree or certificate program
Enroll in at least 6 credits
Maintain satisfactory academic progress to keep PACT funding

At this time, PACT does not cover the following:

Students currently enrolled in a Connecticut Community College or other higher education institution who did not receive PACT last year
Students that have previously earned a college degree

All students are encouraged to apply for financial aid and scholarships as well as scholarships through the TRC Foundation.

High school graduates who will be first-time college students must enroll and register in the Fall 2022 semester. If you have earned college credit in high school through a dual enrollment program you still qualify for PACT.

PACT is not need-based, but it is required that all students apply for Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) for every year that you attend TRCC, and you must meet satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible.
