Grants at Ventura College

A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. 联邦佩尔助学金通常只颁发给没有获得学士学位或专业学位的本科生.

Amounts can change yearly. The amount you get will depend on:

• your financial need,
• your cost of attendance,
• your status as a full-time or part-time student, and
• your plans to attend school for a full academic year or less. 

You may not receive Federal Pell Grant funds from more than one school at a time.

You can receive the Federal Pell Grant for no more than 12 semesters or the equivalent (roughly six years). You’ll receive a notice if you’re getting close to your limit.

If you have any questions, contact the financial aid office.  

To get an FSEOG, you must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) so your college can determine how much financial need you have.  Students who will receive Federal Pell Grants and have the most financial need will receive FSEOGs first.  The FSEOG does not need to be repaid.

FSEOG计划由每个参与学校的财政援助办公室直接管理，因此被称为“校园为基础的”援助. Not all schools participate.  Check with your school's financial aid office to find out if the school offers the FSEOG.

Cal Grant Recipients are selected by the California Student Aid Commission. 所有学生通过填写并提交联邦学生援助免费申请澳门英皇赌城在线申请过程 (FAFSA) or CA Dream Act Application (CADAA).
你必须提交你的FAFSA或CADAA，并确保你的经过验证的Cal Grant GPA已经提交给加州学生援助委员会(CSAC) March 2nd*. If you do not meet the March 2nd priority filing deadline, 您可能有第二次机会通过提交FAFSA或CADAA，并确保您的验证gpa已提交给CSAC September 2nd.

*Please note the priority filing date for 2024-2025 is May 2nd.
