Los Rios Promise Program
The Los Rios Promise Program covers the cost of tuition for eligible students.
Grants
Grants are a great type of financial aid because you don’t typically have to pay them back. Grants come from either the federal or state government.
AB 540 Emergency Grants
The Student Emergency Fund provides grants of up to $500 to eligible Los Rios students. These grants have no repayment obligation.
Federal Direct Loans
A direct loan is money you borrow from the federal government that you have to pay back with interest. We encourage students to apply for grants and scholarships before taking out a student loan.
Private Loans
A private loan is money you borrow from a private lender that you have to pay back with interest. We encourage students to apply for grants and scholarships before taking out a student loan.
Federal Work-Study
The federal work-study (FWS) program provides jobs to students to help them pay for their educational expenses. You will be notified via eServices if you are eligible for FWS.
Scholarships
A scholarship is money given to you to help pay for your education or related expenses. Scholarships come from a variety of sources, such as your college or a private organization.
