A Consortium Agreement may allow eligible students to receive financial aid while attending SCC (parent school) and another school (host school) at the same time. If a student is already registered in 12 or more credits at SCC, there is no need to complete the process since the student is already receiving the maximum financial aid possible and adding credits would not increase the amount.
If a student would like to apply to receive financial aid based on combined enrollment within the Maricopa Community College District*, a student may initiate the process by completing an online form. The student should enroll at the HOME and HOST school, then submit the consortium agreement by the submission deadline date.
*Note – students taking classes at Accredited College outside of the Maricopa Community College District should contact the Financial Aid office for more information regarding the consortium process.
