Financial Aid & Fees / Tuition


Time to file your 2023-2024 FAFSA!

Financial aid is made available by federal and state governments and private sources in the form of grants, scholarships, employment, and loans. This assistance makes it possible for students to continue their education beyond high school, even if they and/or their family cannot meet the full cost of the college they choose to attend.

Due to the limited time frame of the Summer 23 semester, Summer courses that begin after 7/24 are not considered financial aid eligible and will not be counted toward your financial aid eligible units.
