California Promise Grant

The California College Promise Grant (CCPG, formerly the Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOG) Program) was created to provide access for California residents to Community Colleges so that the cost of enrollment would not be a barrier. CCPG is based on financial needs. It assists with mandatory registration fees; it does not waive other fees, such as health fees, parking fees, mailing fees, and student activities fees which must be paid by the student. The fee waiver is not a cash award. For eligible California residents, this program waives the $46/unit enrollment fee. The CCPG is not a cash award and does not cover other educational expenses.

Once the college receives the FAFSA results, to determine CCPG-C eligibility, the financial aid office subtracts the student鈥檚 Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from their cost of attendance. If what remains (鈥榝inancial need鈥�) is $1,104 or greater, the student is given a fee waiver. Waivers are posted onto the registration computer system automatically once results are received from the federal processor. The waiver will automatically appear on the system if you are eligible. When you register using the Campus Solutions system you will not be assessed the $46/unit enrollment fee.

3. CCPG C (Method C) If you do not qualify for a CCPG under Method A or Method B, you need to file a to apply for a CCPG. Many students who don鈥檛 meet the strict income criteria of Method B still become eligible for a CCPG by filing a FAFSA.
