Financial Aid

Almost everyone is eligible for some form of financial aid. ALL students should apply for federal student assistance by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), including the students applying for the BOG Enrollment FEE Waiver for California residents. You can access the application through the Financial Aid site on the College of the Desert website.

Remember, most scholarships applications will request your SAR which is your Student Aid Report, SO if you are applying for scholarships, you MUST complete the FAFSA application.

If you have not completed FAFSA, please make it a priority in the next few days.
