Welcome to Gretna Career College’s financial aid web page. Applying for financial aid can be challenging and it is the goal of the financial aid department to offer financial aid advice and provide quality service to all applicants. We help students develop a financial plan to pay for their education. Financial aid provided by the Federal Government through Gretna Career College (GCC) is intended to be a supplement and not to replace student and family resources.
Several types of financial aid are available to students at Gretna Career College for those who qualify. To apply for financial aid, the student must fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is available in any high school counseling office or accessible online by clicking FAFSA.
If you have any questions regarding the FAFSA, call 504-366-5409 to speak to a financial aid advisor at Gretna Career College, or you may contact the U.S. Department of Education, Federal Student Aid Information Center (FSAIC) at 1-800-433-3242.
