Financial Aid
722-6336
The purpose of the financial aid
program is to provide financial assistance
to students who, without such aid, would
be unable to attend Antelope Valley
College. It is directed toward insuring that
a student will not be denied a college
education because of lack of personal
resources. Although it is expected that
students and parents will make a maximum
effort to meet the cost of education,
financial aid is available to fill the gap
between family resources and the annual
educational expenses.
Financial aid is available from various
sources such as federal and state programs,
community organizations, and individual
donors. Aid can be awarded in the form of
grants, loans, college work-study employment, scholarships, or a combination of
these.
The amount of financial aid awarded to
students is determined by the difference
between their educational expenses and
the financial contribution
