There are various forms of financial aid opportunities that are available to students depending on eligibility. Remember, your financial aid package will always align with your unit load (for example, if you drop a class and have 6 units of coursework vs. 9 units, this may impact your financial aid amount as you will move from being considered a full-time-student to a part-time student).
If your financial or educational situation changes after you have applied for aid, you may apply for a financial aid appeal.
Available aid programs may include, but are not limited to:
- Scholarships
- Federal Grants
- State Grants
- ºÚÁÏÍø Grants
- Federal Student Loans
- Federal Work-Study
The ºÚÁÏÍø Financial Aid and Scholarships team is here to support you with resources and tools that may help you apply for aid and fund your educational goals.
