Application Process

We strongly recommend beginning the financial aid process as early as possible by completing and submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application (CADAA) even if you are undecided about accepting aid. The financial aid application typically takes about 4 weeks to process. Use Institution Code 001157 when completing your application.

Eligibility

While CaPE programs are generally eligible for financial aid, individual student eligibility may vary. It is important to contact the Financial Aid Office to confirm your specific eligibility.
