The Rancho Cordova Center of Folsom Lake College will be holding the next free Financial Aid Awareness Fair on Friday April 24, 2009 from 3:00 to 4:30pm located at 10378 Rockingham Drive. Please call the college information line at 916-608-6500 for more information. Or call the Rancho Cordova Center directly at 916-255-0717.

There are several ways to receive financial aid to help you attend a Los Rios Community College, or one of the many other California colleges, without having to worry about how you are going to pay for your education. Two ways to find out if you can receive funds are to apply for the FAFSA, which is federal student aid, or the BOG Fee Waiver, which is California community college aid.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) offers to students grants, student loans, and federal work study. The FAFSA is required before you can apply for aid from the state of California, such as Cal Grants and the BOG Fee Waiver. The Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOG Waiver) is specifically designed for California community colleges. Upon being declared eligible to receive the BOG Waiver, the student will have their school enrollment fees waived for the academic year. This waiver could also qualify you for a semester parking pass discount.

At the Rancho Cordova Center’s Free Financial Aid Awareness Fair, you can have all of your financial aid questions answered. Topics will include the BOG Fee Waiver, FAFSA, Cal Grants, Grants, Scholarships and loans. Featured at the fair will be a new BOG Clinic to help you get started on the 2009-2010 school year.
