Welcome to Financial Aid
Financial aid, in its simplest definition, is financial assistance intended to aid students in reaching their educational goals. This assistance may come in a variety of forms such as grants, scholarships, work-study and loan programs.
The Financial Aid Website is intended to provide you with a general overview of financial aid programs and give you guidance in the application process and the establishment and maintenance of eligibility. This process may appear somewhat overwhelming and confusing at times, but our Financial Aid staff is here to help you.
We are charged with assisting current and prospective students in the process of applying for and receiving financial assistance available from federal, state and institutional sources for their attendance at Fresno State.
Our office acts as a clearinghouse for loans, grants, Work-Study and institutional scholarship programs. In the last academic year our office awarded in excess of $65 million dollars in financial assistance.
