The Financial Aid Office
Financial aid is any resource available to
students to offset the costs associated with
attending California State University,
Fresno. Aside from student and family
resources, there are four basic programs of
financial aid: grants, loans, work-study,
and scholarships. About 95 percent of
these programs are administered by the
Financial Aid Office.
The majority are funded by the federal
and state governments and are need-based.
Eligibility for financial aid from
need-based programs is determined
through a formula mandated by Congress.
Several programs administered by the
Financial Aid Office are not need-based.
Need-Based
Financial Aid Programs
For the following need-based aid pro-grams,
students are required to submit the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid

financial aid offices in December and
