FINANCIAL AID Financial aid is money provided by the Federal Government, the State of California, or private scholarship funds and is administered by the Chabot Financial Aid Office, to help cover costs associated with attending college at Chabot. The college provides financial assistance to eligible students through scholarships, grants, loans and job opportunities: Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), Federal Work Study (FWS), Federal Loans, Cal Grants, Bureau of Indian Affairs grants (BIA), and other external scholarships. The California College Promise Grant (CCPG) will waive the enrollment fees for eligible CA residents and eligible students with AB 540 status. Students are responsible for knowing all eligibility and renewal requirements and criteria for each type of aid they apply for or receive. The Chabot website is the best source of current information and updates. Links to apply for financial aid, information regarding state, federal and institutions’ policies, and additional Chabot forms for financial aid processes are available through the Financial Aid Office’s web page at www.chabotcollege.edu/FinAid. Students begin applying for financial aid for the following academic year on October with a priority deadline of March 2 each year to be considered for the Cal Grant, and for maximum types and amounts of all financial aid programs (including SEOG and FWS funds). Students applying later than this date will be considered for aid as it remains available, and in the order their applications are received, processed and awarded. Each student must reapply each year to be considered for financial aid. Students may view current, accurate information regarding their file status, eligibility, and awards on Class Web. FINANCIAL AND ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY To be eligible to participate in the Title IV student financial aid provided by the U.S. Department of Education and the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District, students must demonstrate both financial and academic eligibility. Financial eligibility is determined by completion and verification of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), or the California Dream Act Application (CADAA), and academic eligibility is determined by review of academic progress after each term. Maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress requires all three eligibility criteria are met: minimum 2.00 semester and cumulative grade point average; minimum completion rate of 67% each term; and maximum period of eligibility at 150% of program length in attempted units, or credit hours. Students who are determined to be ineligible for financial aid due to failure to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress, or who have exceeded the time limits for eligibility, may request reconsideration if they have extenuating circumstances through an appeal process. See Chabot College’s Financial Aid website for detailed eligibility requirements and policies. See Class Web Financial Aid for individual financial aid file status. www.chabotcollege.edu/FinAid
