- Student Success Completion Grant (SSCG)
A new state program available to full-time students who are Cal Grant recipients.
Students who enroll in 12 units or more can receive up to $2,596 per year ($865 per
quarter), and students who enroll in 15 units or more can receive up to $8000 per
year ($2,666 per quarter). Current or former foster youth (whose dependency was established
or continued by the court on or after the date on which the person reached 13 years
of age) who enroll in 12+ units per quarter can receive up to $10,500 per year ($3,500
per quarter).
Grants are financial aid awards that do not usually have to be repaid. They are awarded
based on financial need. To apply for these programs, students must complete FAFSA On the Web or the CA Dream Act Application.
Cal Grant B
A California state program which awards funds to students from disadvantaged and low-income
families. Early application deadlines apply for Cal Grants.
Students may receive a living stipend of up to $550 per quarter for full-time study.
Students with dependents may receive up to $2000 per quarter for full-time study.
Students must verify their dependents on WebGrants 4 Students.
Cal Grant C
Awarded to CTE students attending LTCC. Students may receive a living stipend of up to $364 per quarter.
There is also a Tuition & Fee portion of Cal Grant, but it is not applicable at Community
College because Cal Grant students already receive the CCPG which pays tuition and
fees. However, students who are transferring to 4-year colleges in CA are encouraged
to save 2 full-time years (200%) of Cal Grant to pay for two years of tuition and
fees at their transfer school. You can put your Cal Grant on "CC Hold" on your WebGrants 4 Students account if you are at 200% or under to make sure that it is no longer paid at Community
College.
The California Chafee Grant Program awards funds to eligible current or former Foster
Youth. Eligible Chafee applicants are required to be, or to have been, in foster care
between their 16th and 18th birthdays, and must not have reached the age of 26 by
July 1st of the award year. Learn more >>
Direct Student Loans are borrowed money that must be paid back with interest. The
maximum allowable amount per year is determined by your dependency status, the amount
of college units you have completed, and what you have already borrowed from other
colleges. The maximum allowable amount (for an Independent student who has completed
at least 72 quarter units) is usually $10,500. To request a Direct Student Loan, you
must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and then complete the
Direct Loan Request Form. You may also be required to complete a
Master Promissory Note and
Direct Loan Entrance Counseling, if you have not done so already.
- Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
This is a priority aid award at LTCC, as we have very limited funding. Awards of up
to $300 per quarter for early FAFSA filers. Emergency Grants are sometimes available
upon student request, funds permitting. FSEOGs are awarded to students with the greatest
financial need on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Work-Study provides on-campus jobs to students with financial need. Another funding
source funds the student's regular pay check, and they are paid just the same as a
normal PT/Temporary employee. We have various Work Study funds, including Federal
Work Study, Learning Aligned Employment Program, and CalWORKs. Students may complete FAFSA On the Web or CADAA as the first step to establish eligibility for the work-study program. Work-study
awards are made to LTCC students on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- California College Promise Grant
California College Promise Grant (formerly known as the Board of Governors fee waiver)
is the enrollment fee waiver for California residents and AB540 eligible students.
In order to qualify you must meet residency and income requirements.
Parents of dependent students may borrow a Parent Plus Loan to help pay for the coast
of a student’s education. Parent Plus Loans are available upon request from the Financial
Aid Office.
Provide up to $7,395 for the school year, or up to $2,465 per term for full-time study.
Grant amounts are dependent upon (1) the student's financial need and Student Aid
Index (SAI) which is calculated from their FAFSA information; and (2) the student's
enrollment status (i.e. full time or part time).
LTCC offers a number of scholarship opportunities each Winter quarter. The criteria
and requirements are different for each, though most students will qualify for at
least one. Please check our Scholarship webpage or the Financial Aid page in Passport for details.
