Cash for College 2015

Event Date and Time

Funding CollegePaying for college can be difficult, but California has always been a leader in providing eligible students with an affordable college education.

The Cal Grant and the Middle Class Scholarship are two great state programs to help
California families afford college:

Cal Grant, a need-based state financial aid program, has been a big part of making college affordable for many California families. The financial eligibility requirements can be met by many typical California families.

Qualified students can receive up to $12,192 in funding to attend almost any college in California - awards vary depending on economic need, grades and the college you attend.

The Middle Class Scholarship Act is a new program for students who do not qualify for Cal Grants but are still priced out of college.

It offers sliding-scale discounts of up to 40 percent for families who earn $150,000 or less and don't qualify for Cal Grants, which support lower-income students.

Students apply just as they would for a federal loan or a Cal Grant, by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 2. They must also have a C average. Don't delay! The deadline to apply is March 2.

For more information and assistance with your application, please attend a Funding Your College Future Workshop listed below.
