Financial Aid Notice

January 28, 2025

Many of you have seen news stories about an announcement from the US government regarding the pause in some grants from federal agencies and other Executive Orders or memos coming from the federal government.

This announcement does not apply to Pell Grants or other federal financial aid. Those awards and distributions will continue, without interruption. Additionally, state financial aid such as CalGrants, California Promise Grants, and AB540 aid are not impacted by this, or any, federal action. 

Apply for Financial Aid

Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application (CADAA), and we will help you identify the aid for which you are eligible. The FAFSA is for US citizens and permanent residents, while the CADAA is for students who are not US citizens, permanent residents, or eligible non-citizens.

Make sure you are aware of the financial aid deadlines for each semester.
