Financial Aid & Scholarships

Chegg.com is also a great resource searching for scholarships as they offer over 25,000 scholarships. Undocumented students are welcome to apply for scholarships as well.
  • What would be the requirements for such scholarships and what would a student's chances of getting them?: It would depend on what type of scholarship it is and whether or not they require additional requirements. Unfortunately, scholarships are not guaranteed, but we always recommend students fill out scholarship applications.
  • Other financial aid information: You will only need to complete the CASFA form linked in the previous question.
