Financial Aid

Welcome to Financial Aid

The purpose of Financial Aid is to ensure that each student has sufficient resources to enable them to attend college. We provide grants, fee waivers, scholarships, loans, and federal work-study. Financial aid funds are provided to help with all costs of attending college, including costs of enrollment fees, book and supplies, room and board, other personal and living expenses, transportation, child care, and computers. Students do not have to be a full time student to be eligible for most forms of financial aid, but full-time students do receive the maximum amount of aid available. This is so that they can take more units, finish college faster and so that the student does not have to work so many hours.

Our friendly staff is here to help you with your questions and with the entire process. You may reach us in person during posted drop-in hours, by phone, or by email. We are committed to providing excellent service with quick response time. If you have any concern about paying for college please apply for financial aid, and do contact us if you need any kind of assistance.

Sincerely,

Andi Schreibman
