ACCM offers students a wide variety of financial aid packages. Students may apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you have any questions or if you would like a financial aid packet mailed to you, contact the Financial Aid Office at (501) 977-2055 or 1-800-264-1094. Remember: Applying for financial aid is free!

• Federal Pell Grants
• Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)
• Federal Work-Study Programs (FWS)

If you are expecting to receive Pell Grant funds, scholarship funds, SEOG or student loan funds, the money will first be applied to any outstanding balances at UACCM automatically. After expenses, any remaing funds will refunded to you. Since there is a two week refund policy for tuition and books, we are unable to start processing any financial aid refunds until after the first two weeks of school. After that, reconciling all charges to each student account usually takes another week and cutting checks, and ordering funds an additional week. Refunds will be issued in this order: loans, Pell Grants, scholarships, SEOG and all others.

Targeted Processing Dates:

• Loans processed the fourth week of school
• Pell Grants the fifth week of school
• Remainder of aid the sixth week and later

These are only target dates. The financial aid staff works very hard to insure that everyone gets their funds as quickly as possible.

• Student processing their aid paperwork late
• Student failing to bring in required transcripts, shot records, ect.
• First time loan students (must wait until mid-term grades are posted)
• Student is taking an off-schedule class
• State grant or other funds arrive late
