The cost of an education at College of Coastal Georgia is a great value and financial aid only makes CCGA more affordable. In-state tuition and fees are among the lowest in the southeast and Coastal Georgia is inexpensive for out of state students as well. Over 80% of our students receive some form of financial aid, whether it's federal, state or institutional and in 2009-10 CCGA disbursed over $15 million in financial aid.

In addition to being one of the best values in Georgia's University System, College of Coastal Georgia also offers a wide array of scholarships. Incoming students can now apply for over 44 College of Coastal Foundation scholarships with just one application and on-campus federal work study is available for those who qualify.
