Financial Aid

Financial aid programs are intended to provide assistance to students who need financial resources to meet their educational costs. Most students qualify for some type of assistance. Only U.S. citizens and eligible noncitizens can receive federal financial aid. 

Applicants who want to be considered for all types of state and federal financial aid should apply as soon after October 1 by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Since new California grant program applicants must apply by March 2, we strongly encourage all applicants to apply by this date.

The FAFSA is all you need to begin the application process. You may apply by using FAFSA on the Web at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. For California Dream Act-eligible students, complete the California Dream Act application online.
