Announcements

It's NOT TOO LATE to receive your FALL 2018 Financial Aid money! If you still haven't finished your 2018/2019 FAFSA or haven't even filled one out yet, its not too late to do so! You can still get back paid any money you are entitled to for the courses you completed in the Fall 2018 semester. Come by the Financial Aid Office for assistance in completing your 2018-2019 FAFSA or any documentation still required for Fall 18 (get back paid for classes you took this fall), Spring 19 and Summer 19 funding.
2019/2020 FAFSA now available at FAFSA.GOV! Complete your 19/20 FAFSA before March 2, 2019 for maximum funding opportunities.
Beginning 2018/2019, the Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOGW) has been changed to the California College Promise Grant (CCPG). The California College Promise Grant works exactly the same way as the former BOGW. If you have already submitted an 2018/2019 FAFSA online, a CCPG will be automatically submitted to the Financial Aid Office when your FAFSA is accepted into the system (therefore, no need to submit a paper CCPG as well).

BIG CHANGES coming to CCPG eligibility and priority registration. Click here for details. For questions, contact your academic counselor at 209-588-5109.
