What is Financial Aid?
Financial assistance is money to help you and your family cover educational expenses. It is intended to supplement (not replace) the amount you and your family can afford. Keep in mind that it is ultimately the responsibility of you and your family to finance your education. Financial assistance comes from a variety of sources, including federal, state, and local funds. Grants, scholarships, and work-study programs are the main types of assistance available to you. Bevill State Community College does not participate in any federal student loan programs.
How Does It Work?
To be considered for most types of financial assistance, you must first complete a form called the “Free Application for Federal Student Aid” which is available in the Office of Student Services or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Bevill State's Institution Code is 005733 (section six (6) on the FAFSA).
When Do I Apply for Financial Aid?
It is important that you complete the FAFSA application as soon as possible. Remember, you must fill out a FAFSA form each year to be considered for financial assistance. Bevill State encourages students to apply as soon as possible after  October 1 for the upcoming academic year. Once you have filled out the FAFSA, we encourage you to fill out the Bevill State online scholarship application to be eligible for additional funds.
How is Financial Aid Calculated?
Your need analysis form will be evaluated by a confidential aid application processor. Using a standard formula, set by the government, the processor will determine the amount that your family can afford to pay for educational expenses. They will consider income, expenses, assets, and any special circumstances. The amount of aid for which you are eligible is calculated by subtracting the amount you and your family can contribute (called your Expected Family Contribution, or EFC) from the annual cost of your education, which includes tuition, fees, books, and living expenses. The difference between your education expenses and your EFC is called “need.”
I'm Approved...What Next?

Upon approval, you will receive a Student Aid Report (a form sent to you from the financial aid processing center) by mail or email.

It is your responsibility to submit the Student Aid Report to Financial Aid personnel located in the Office of Student Services at the campus you plan to attend with a signed Disbursement Procedure Form

Once the forms are received, you may be required to provide other information to verify what you have reported on the forms. You may be asked to bring in your tax returns, non-taxable income documentation, financial aid transcript from previously attended institutions and possibly other information.

History
Bevill State Community College is a part of the State system of community, junior, and technical colleges authorized by the Alabama Legislature under Act No. 93, approved May 3, 1963. At the same time, Act No. 94 vested the authority and responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the state two-year colleges with the State Board of Education.
Bevill State Community College was created in 1992, by the consolidation of two premier two-year colleges which were a part of the original legislation: Walker State Technical College, formerly a vocational/technical institution which opened in 1966, and Brewer State Junior College, a two-year academic transfer institution, created in 1969. The Hamilton Campus of Northwest Alabama Community College, primarily a vocational/technical campus which was created in 1966, merged with Bevill State Community College in 1993 as one of its main campuses. UAB/Walker College, established in 1938 as an academic transfer college, completed the Bevill State four-campus college in 1998.
The four main campuses, and one instructional site, offer university parallel and applied technology educational opportunities to over one-quarter million people in a seven county area. Bevill State's service area spans over 4,600 square miles, from the Birmingham city limits to the Mississippi state line.]]> About Bevill State
