FAFSA
The 2025-26 FAFSA is available for completion now! The 25/26 FAFSA application is for the Fall 2025, Sping 2026 and Summer 2026 semesters.
HCC will load 25/26 FAFSAs into our system late April 2025 and begin the awarding cycle in mid-May. The financial aid office will not have access to your 25/26 FAFSA until they are loaded into the system. If you need to review your 25/26 FAFSA application or make corrections, visit studentaid.gov and log in with your FSA ID.

- If you are an Illinois student who is not eligible for federal financial aid (and do not file the FAFSA), you may apply for a State of Illinois Monetary Award Program (MAP) grant using the online Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid, which is patterned after the FAFSA.
