Non-California Residents should be aware that:

51AV视频 does not have campus housing.聽The Financial Aid Office is not involved in filling out apartment rental forms, collecting money and/or telling potential students where to live.聽It is the responsibility of the incoming student and their family to organize housing arrangements for themselves.

The state of California does not offer financial aid for Non-California residents. To help offset any of the costs, students should apply for federal financial aid by completing a FAFSA at .聽 Maximum Federal Financial Aid can consist of the following depending on the student鈥檚 eligibility:

  1. Federal Pell Grant 鈥 $740聽to $7,395聽maximum per year based on eligibility.
  2. Federal Direct Loans 鈥 Up to $5,500.00 in Federal Direct Loans for 1st-year students and up to $6,500.00 for 2nd-year students.

Parents of dependent students can apply for a Direct PLUS loan to offset costs not covered by the students own grants and/or loans. The Direct PLUS loan is credit based so not all parents will qualify. For parents who do not qualify their student may be eligible to receive an increased amount of Direct Unsubsidized Loans.

  1. Federal Work Study (FWS) 鈥揥ork-study funds are limited and awards are based on eligibility and availability of funds.聽The FASFA must be filled out and approved by the institution before you can be considered for work-study.聽 Priority is given to continuing work-study students.

Every student who receives financial aid is required to review the Terms and Conditions of their financial aid on their MyVCCCD portal.聽 Students who accept the Terms and Conditions acknowledge that any financial aid that is to be disbursed to them (Federal Pell Grant, FSEOG, Subsidized/ Unsubsidized Students Loans) will be applied directly to any outstanding fees on their account.聽 After a student鈥檚 balance has been paid, any remaining financial aid will then be disbursed to the student via the BankMobile refund process.聽 As a result, all students especially those with high costs should plan their finances and budget accordingly to support themselves through the start of each term without the help of financial aid.聽 听听
