Financial Aid Programs

Types of Financial Aid Programs

Foothill College offers a variety of financial aid programs to help make college more affordable. Eligible students may qualify for the California College Promise Grant, which waives enrollment fees and reduces parking permit costs.

We understand and recognize the financial undertaking involved with your education and the importance of the right combination of resources that allow you to study at Foothill College.

  • Then learn more about each program by selecting the type.  

Benefits of Attending Full-Time

While you don’t have to be a full-time student to receive financial aid, taking more units does mean more money if you qualify for federal and/or state grants.

Please Note: Financial aid amounts are subject to change.

Federal Student Loans are funds that eligible applicants may borrow from the U.S. Department of Education and must be repaid.

Federal Work-Study provides part-time jobs for students with financial need. The program encourages community service work and work related to your field of study. To receive funds, you’ll need to be awarded work-study and secure a job.

Explore grant programs at Foothill College that help you pay for college without debt. Learn about the Federal Pell Grant, FSEOG, Cal Grants, the Dream Act Service Incentive Grant (DSIG), the Chafee Grant, and the Full-Time Student Success Completion Grant.

Through generous support of the our Foothill De Anza Foundation, we offer many scholarships, which do not need to be repaid.

Formerly Known as the BOG Fee Waiver, The California College Promise Grant is funded by the State of California to fully waive the enrollment fees charged to eligible California residents and AB 540 students who are attending community college.
