AWARD AMOUNTS

With the Student Success Completion Grant, the more classes you are enrolled in at the time of disbursement, the more money you will be eligible to receive. You can get up to $4,000 a year to help cover education and living expenses. That means you can work less, take more classes, and stay on track to get your degree faster. 

Note: If your number of units enrolled for the academic year (Fall, Spring, Summer) exceeds 24 units. You will be eligible for the following amounts. Due to limited funding, Student Success Completion Grants (SSCG) are awarded on a first come, first serve basis. Funding may not be available at the end of the year. 

PLAN FOR SUCCESS

Schedule an appointment with our Counseling Department to set up an education plan that fits your goals. An education plan will help you choose classes carefully and avoid taking unnecessary courses. It is important to remember, to earn an associate degree in two years, students must take at least 15 units each semester.
