Out in the community
It’s not all books and tests at SCC. Making friends and
exploring your interests are vital parts of the college
experience.
Keokuk and West Burlington are both located right on
the banks of the mighty Mississippi River. That makes
it easy to experience all the Great River Region has to
offer: cultural, community and sporting events are just
minutes away year-round. Our campuses are close to
shopping, bike paths, athletic facilities, and more.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
The federal government uses it to determine your eligibility for federal and state aid,
grants, loans, and work study.

Apply online at www.fafsa.gov.
It’s in the numbers
While there are many reasons students pick SCC,
a big one is cost.
Scholarships, grants and loans go a lot further at a
community college where tuition is more affordable.
Maybe that’s why half of all college students in the
USA attend community college.
