Financial Aid 

Financial Aid is any source of funds that are available to help you pay for college. Most types of financial aid come from federal and state programs, which require completing the FAFSA application and awards your funds based on your demonstrated need. If you are not a US Citizen or permanent resident but meet [AB 540] criteria you may be eligible for the California Dream Act. 

We recommend that all new students submit a financial aid application for the 2021-2022 academic year to see what you may qualify for! PCC has staff members and workshops available for students who have questions about this process. 

An important note: You will apply for financial aid every academic year!
