Financial aid is money provided by the Federal Government, the State of California, and administered by Chabot College to help cover costs associated with a Ʃ ending college at Chabot. Students at Chabot may be considered for California Promise Grant (Fee Waiver), federal/state grants, scholarship, Federal Work Study, and Direct Student Loans. HOW TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID? Each year, beginning October 1st, each student completes the Free Applica Ɵ on for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or CA DreamAct Applica Ɵ on online. The FAFSA is submi Ʃ ed electronically to the US Department of Educa Ɵ on, and the CA Dream Act Applica Ɵ on is submi Ʃ ed to the California Student Aid Commission, not to the Financial Aid O ffi ce (FAO). Use Chabot’s school code of 001162 so that Chabot will receive the results electronically from the federal or state processor. Students and parents use tax and income informa Ɵ on from two years prior. (2019 for 2021-22 applica Ɵ on) Students (and parents) are expected to use IRS Data Retrieval Tool to securely and fi ling accurately transfer IRS tax informa Ɵ on to the FAFSA. Using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool increases the accuracy of fi nancial aid awards and reduces the amount of documents required during veri fi ca Ɵ on with the Financial Aid O ffi ce. See page 8 for important changes to applica Ɵ on cycle. Applying early and accurately helps us process your fi le faster. If you miss the priority date of March 2nd, you can submit an applica Ɵ on at a later date. However, your eligibility for aid may not be determined in Ɵ me for ini Ɵ al semester disbursements, and you will be responsible for purchasing your own books and materials. We must receive your applica Ɵ on before the last date of enrollment in a semester, or by due dates posted on our website. I’VE APPLIED - NOWWHAT? Once Chabot receives applica Ɵ on, student visits CLASS-Web to obtain required follow up forms through provided links. • Students selected must either verify using the IRS Data Retrieval op Ɵ on from the FAFSA, or submit IRS Tax Transcripts for self/ spouse and/or parents. • You must provide a photo ID each Ɵ me you visit our o ffi ce in person or online. • The FAO will not make copies of tax transcripts or other documents.

Documents submi Ʃ ed a Ō er July 1 will be processed by date received and eligible students may not receive a disbursement un Ɵ l later in the semester; student will need to make alternate arrangements to purchase books and complete the semester successfully. • Students may be required to provide o ffi cial (unopened) academic transcripts from every college a Ʃ ended prior to Chabot. • Please review processing details linked on website. Once you have submi Ʃ ed all requested documents, your fi le will be reviewed and awarded as appropriate in the order paperwork is received (allow 2-4 weeks), and addi Ɵ onal informa Ɵ on or documenta Ɵ on may be requested. Disbursement of fi nancial aid will occur only when student’s fi nancial aid fi le is complete, both fi nancial and academic eligibility has been determined, student is admi Ʃ ed to Chabot and enrolled in eligible program of study, and class has begun.
