Financial Aid Information

Undocumented students do not qualify for Federal Aid but may qualify for State financial aid programs. Additionally undocumented students may qualify for Rhode Island Promise if they meet all other eligibility requirements. Undocumented student applicants are required to file the RI Alternative Application for State Postsecondary Student Financial Assistance.

*** Completed Applications should be submitted to the Financial Aid Office at CCRI***

The following is a list of information you may need to complete the 2025-2026 Application:

  • W-2 forms or other records of income earned in 2023
  • Your (and your parents, if you are dependent) 2023 Federal Income Tax Return
  • Records of other untaxed income received such as child support, payments to tax-deferred pension plans, veteran’s benefits, or military or clergy allowances
