*Full scholarships are provided to all Cal Grant recipients. Students who are eligible for both Cal and full Pell Grants receive full scholarships and up to $1,250 per semester in funds to cover living expenses. Funds are payable directly to students upon verification and funding from Cal and Pell Grants, typically, the first half of the semester.

Students must be enrolled full-time and Cal and Pell Grants are renewed each year. In years 2-3, students who lose Cal and/or Pell Grant eligibility will have their financial awards adjusted based on the loss of federal and state funds.

Upon acceptance, applicants must enroll by May 1, 2025. After that date, applicants will be put on our waitlist.
