Although it is not required, we recommend applying for Financial Aid before you are accepted into the OLS program.
Financial Aid is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, and applying early can help you maximize the amount of aid you may qualify for.

For more detailed information regarding BC’s Financial Aid process and requirements, please visit BC’s Financial Aid website. You may also contact the Financial Aid Office directly with your financial aid questions and inquiries.
Only students who apply for FAFSA and submit all requested documentation to Financial Aid prior to the June 1 deadline will have their application considered complete in time for fall tuition assistance. If you miss the deadline, you must pay your own tuition, fees, and books using your own funds; however, you may be reimbursed based on eligibility.
Don’t forget to check your application status regularly by accessing the BC Financial Aid Portal using your ctcLink ID and password. The Financial Aid office often needs more information than simply the FAFSA form.
Did you know that you automatically miss the deadline if you submit the FAFSA/WASFA on the day of the deadline? Get all the tips and deadlines from BC’s Financial Aid Office.

Make sure to select Bellevue College (003769) as a college you are interested in.
One to two weeks after you submit the FAFSA, you should receive a response from the federal processor, which includes a summary of your application. Review this carefully for accuracy. You can go back to your application and make corrections if needed.
