WHAT IS FINANCIAL AID?

WHAT IS FINANCIAL AID?

Financial aid is available to assist in removing the cost barriers that may prevent you from pursuing your educational goals. Most financial aid comes from state and federal government. Financial aid is meant to supplement your family's ability to pay for college costs such as tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and transportation.
 
Types of Financial Aid
 
  • Federal Pell Grants provide financial assistance to eligible part-time and full-time students based on need. You must be an undergraduate student who does not have a bachelor's degree or professional degree.
  • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG) are awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional financial need and are Pell Grant recipients.
  • Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a student employment program. Under FWS, students may work part- time and earn money to help pay for their college expenses. Funds are limited.
  • Federal Direct Stafford Loans are low-interest loans for eligible students to help cover the cost of higher education.
  • California Community College Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOG) waives per-unit enrollment fees for financially qualified California residents.
  • Call Grants are awarded by the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) to undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need and academic achievement which is measured by GPAs and scoring criteria. Visit CSAC for information.
  • The California Chafee Grant Program gives money to current or former foster youth to use for career and technical training or college courses. Visit Chafee CSAC  for more information.
