Applicants to Cal Grant programs must apply using the FAFSA or CA Dream Act Application by the deadline and meet all eligibility, financial, and minimum GPA requirements of either program. National Career College is eligible for all three types of Cal Grants — A, B, and C. Your eligibility will be based on your FAFSA or CA Dream Act Application responses, your verified Cal Grant GPA, the type of college you list on your application, and whether you’re a recent high school graduate.
Private Loans & Scholarships
Students and parents who do not qualify for Title IV funds or who need additional funds to cover educational expenses beyond what is covered by Title IV funds may apply for private loans and/or scholarships. In addition to private loans, a wide array of scholarships is available to students. National Career College does not offer any scholarships. Scholarship eligibility criteria vary.
