At Berkshire Community College (BCC), you will get the same great education at a fraction of the cost. Need help completing your FAFSA? Check out our FAFSA Completion Workshops.
Financial aid can cover tuition and other academic fees, living expenses, or both. Day, evening, and online students who are enrolled either full- or part-time are eligible for financial aid consideration.
Each year, more than 80% of BCC students receive an average award of $5,000. That's a significant savings on your annual tuition.
The first step to being awarded aid is by completing your government FAFSA, and filing as early as possible is always a great idea.

We are pleased to announce we have established a partnership with Inceptia to expedite the federal verification process for Berkshire Community College. Verification Gateway (VG) from Inceptia is an online portal to guide students and parents through verification.
If your FAFSA application is selected for verification by the U.S Department of Education, you will receive an email from VGCS@inceptia.org, or postcard from Inceptia, containing Berkshire Community College's unique website link to start the verification process.
The deadline for submitting these documents is Aug. 31.
If you are a dependent student, your parent also needs to create their own account and complete each of these steps.
