BOGW Enrollment Fee Waiver

For Summer 2009 use the 2008-2009 BOGW Application.

For Fall 2009, Spring 2010 and Summer 2010 use the 2009-2010 BOGW Application.

This program determines if you qualify to have your enrollment fees waived for registration of your classes. This FEE WAIVER is for California residents only. If you need money to help with books, supplies, transportation and other costs, you must also complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It's OK to file both a BOGW Application and a FAFSA.

We will let you know if you qualify for an automatic BOGW FEE WAIVER. Even if you do NOT qualify using the simple BOGW method, you should file a FAFSA. Many, many students do not qualify under BOGW Method A or B, but still qualify for a BOGW Method C fee waiver and additional financial aid by filing the FAFSA.

To qualify for the BOGW Program, you must:

• Be a California resident, and
• Meet the qualifying income standards for one of the BOGW methods below

BOGW Method "A" - You, or your parents if applicable, must be currently receiving benefits from CalWORKs, TANF, SSI/SSP, or General Relief. Bring proof of your benefits to the Financial Aid Office.

BOGW Method "B" - You, and your parents if applicable, must meet the following income standards Total Family Income. Your income must be equal to or less than the amount indicated for your household size.
