Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Office at Moorpark College participates in a variety of Federal and State financial aid programs designed to assist undergraduate students in meeting college costs. To be considered for these programs, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov, or the California Dream Act at https://dream.csac.ca.gov/, or a California College Promise Grant [CCPG] for each academic year. For the best source of current information and guidelines, please contact our office or refer to Moorpark College Financial Aid website. *Note* additional forms are required for state aid programs. Please see Appendix IX for more information regarding the application filing requirements and priority filing deadlines for state aid.

Due to limitations in funding, the Financial Aid Office may not offer sufficient financial aid to cover the entire cost of education. Adhering to the priority filing deadlines and responding promptly to requests for additional information from the Financial Aid Office is a critical component to receiving the most financial aid.
