Announcement: Your Financial Aid is Secure

At Danville Community College, we understand how important financial aid is to our students and their families. We want to assure you that Title IV federal student aid programs, including Pell Grants, Direct Loans, and other forms of financial assistance, are fully protected by law and are not affected by the recent federal memorandum regarding financial assistance programs. Your ability to access and benefit from these critical resources remains unchanged. DCC is committed to supporting you throughout your educational journey, and we will continue to provide the guidance and resources you need to succeed. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our Financial Aid Office at 797-8567 or dccfinaid@danville.edu. Thank you for choosing Danville Community College as your partner in achieving your academic and career goals!

FAFSA

PLESE NOTE: Processing of the 2026-2027 FAFSA's that were filed after 4/26/26 is temporarily on hold.

Recent legislative changes have resulted in the need for a software update before we are able to process applications in the new format that reflects these changes. We will resume processing as soon as we have received the necessary update and confirm it is working correctly.

Note that this does NOT affect summer 2026.

For questions contact us at DCCfinaid@danville.edu or call 434-797-8567.
