Middle Class Scholarship (MCS) Update-
The California Student Aid Commission has notified potentially eligible students about
the Middle Class Scholarship (MCS) for the 2025–26 academic year. Our office has now
begun the awarding process.
To help expedite this process, eligibility confirmation and related inquiries will be paused temporarily. Please note that award amounts may be adjusted throughout the year based on other financial aid received, including scholarships, grants, fee waivers, and third-party payments.
Credential students and undergraduates enrolled in fewer than 7 units will be evaluated for eligibility after the census date.

Do you have a Special or Unusual Circumstance?
The ÌÇÐÄVlogÊÓÆµ Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships would like to make you aware that as an aid applicant, you may apply for a special or unusual circumstance. Adjustments to Cost of Attendance (COA), based on additional incurred costs that exceed the standard COA, to alter the data elements used to calculate the Student Aid Index (SAI) and/or Dependency status, are ALL considered on a case-by-case basis. This process is known as professional judgement. In certain circumstances, it can extend to declared disasters, emergencies, or economic downturns.
Financial Literacy
In today’s economic climate, coupled with the increasing costs of higher education, it makes sense for students to better educate themselves on money management. ÌÇÐÄVlogÊÓÆµ has partnered with CashCourse, whose mission is to equip students with the tools and knowledge they need to help them make informed and thoughtful financial decisions throughout their college careers.
