Financial aid is a general term for different types of money designed to help students pay for their educational costs. There are grants, work-study, loans, scholarships, and the California College Promise Grant (CCPG) formerly known as the Board of Governor鈥檚 Fee Waiver (BOGW).

You can apply for financial aid through or . The College also offers scholarships, which require separate applications.

The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) comes from the information you provided on the FAFSA. It is the amount of money the student/family is responsible for contributing toward the student鈥檚 educational costs for one year. It is used by financial aid offices to help determine eligibility for financial aid.

Registration is a way our government keeps a list of names of men from which to draw in case of a national emergency requiring rapid expansion of our Armed Forces. By registering all young men, the Selective Service ensures that a future draft will be fair and equitable. All male applicants for financial aid must register with the selective service between the ages of 18 and 25.

There is not a clear-cut income limit. The financial aid process looks at many different variables besides income to determine eligibility. The only way to know if you are eligible is to complete the FAFSA or CA DREAM Act application.

Effective July 1, 2012, new students who enroll in a program of study must have a high school diploma, GED or its equivalent in order to be eligible for financial aid. Students who completed a home schooling curriculum are considered to have received a high school diploma or its equivalent. Students no longer have the option of becoming eligible for federal student aid by passing an approved Ability to Benefit test or completing at least six credit hours of post-secondary education.

However, students who were enrolled in an eligible educational program of study or qualified for financial aid (prior to July 1, 2012) by passing the ATB test or completing 6 degree applicable credit hours will continue to be eligible for aid due to a grandfathering clause.

If a student did not receive a high school diploma or its equivalent, you can still be considered for the California College Promise Grant (formerly BOGW) and scholarships.

We can consider you for the California College Promise Grant (formerly BOGW), but not for federal and other state aid. Federal and state aid is reserved for students who are pursuing a college degree or certificate.

International Students are not eligible for federal or state aid.

You may be eligible for the California College Promise Grant (formerly BOGW), Federal Work Study (FWS) and/or a Student Loan. You will need to submit a Financial Aid Appeal in order to request FWS and/or Student Loans. Only one year of eligibility will be approved through the appeal process.

Students must meet the below requirements each semester.

• Maintain a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA and
• Complete at least 2/3 (67%) of units each term and
• Complete at least 2/3 (67%) of units overall and
• Complete program within the 鈥楳aximum Time Frame鈥� or 150% of the normal program length

You are on warning/disqualification because you failed to meet the Financial Aid鈥檚 Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements. The first time it occurs you will be placed on 鈥淲arning鈥� status and the second consecutive semester that the SAP is not met, you would be 鈥淒isqualified鈥� from receiving most types of Financial Aid. For more information, visit Satisfactory Academic Progress.

If you drop all of your units while receiving financial aid, you may be required to repay a portion of the funds. The repayment amount will be determined after the add/drop period has ended. If you are required to repay a portion of the financial aid funds, a payment notice will be mailed to you. Visit the Financial Aid Office to consult an Advisor on how this may affect your financial aid.

Depends, please check with the Financial Aid Office before changing your program of study. Students are required to declare a degree or certificate or transfer program with the Admissions & Records. Students must complete their educational objective (graduation, transfer, certificate, etc.) by the time they have attempted 90 units or 150% of the declared program of study. Consult a counselor or the Transfer Center to decide as early as possible on a program of study.

Winter and Spring semester units are combined to determine Spring disbursements. Students may qualify for Financial Aid in the summer depending on the number of units and if they have any Financial Aid remaining from the preceding award year.

Financial Aid considers 鈥渇ull-time鈥� status as 12.0 units or more for all semesters (Fall, Spring & Summer).

You DO NOT have to be full-time student to receive Financial Aid, however, some financial aid programs have specific unit requirements. For more information, contact the Financial Aid Office at: wvfaFREEWEST_VALLEY

The CCPG covers the $46 per unit enrollment fee and gives you a discount on the parking permit for the year that you apply. Yes, you will receive an automatic refund for your enrollment. Refunds are calculated and disbursed in approximately 2-4 weeks. See the Admissions & Records office for the parking fee reimbursement.

Out of state residents may be eligible for Federal aid. Any aid that is received can be used toward the $250 per unit enrollment and tuition fees. For example, a student who is eligible for the maximum Pell Grant (EFC = 0) and enrolled for 12 units will receive four payments equaling to $6,195.

This can be due to many variables: change in income, lower-unit enrollment, completion date of FAFSA or CA DREAM appl, etc. Contact our office for a more detailed explanation.

You can view our regular disbursement schedule online. See the Financial Aid Calendar on our website. Pell Grant and Loans will be divided into four disbursements per year, two disbursements in the Fall semester in increments of 50% and two disbursements in the Spring semester in increments of 50%.

Your disbursement will be adjusted to reflect the number of units in which you are enrolled (75% for 3/4-time, 50% for half-time, and you may have eligibility for less than half-time). For example, if your award letter states your total Pell Grant award is $6,095 and you are a full time student then you can refer to the chart below.

No, your disbursement will not reflect the waitlist classes. Your disbursement will only include the units you are currently enrolled in, however, if you are added to the class then your second disbursement will reflect the update.

Your second disbursement may reflect late start classes if enrolled and starts by specific dates.

May include payment for late start Fall classes if enrolled by October 23 and starts by November 2.

May include payment for late start Spring classes if enrolled by March 28 and starts by April 6.
