About Our Office

The Mt. San Antonio College Financial Aid Department is proud to offer a full array of financial aid programs, grants, work-study options, loans, and scholarships to our full-time and part-time students. We offer many financial aid resources to help our students cover their college costs and focus on achieving your educational goals, not on how to pay for them.

What is the purpose of financial aid?

Financial aid is intended to help students who might not otherwise be able to attend college. The Financial Aid Office must evaluate each family's financial ability to pay for educational costs in order to distribute limited resources in a fair manner. Keep in mind that most financial aid resources are intended to supplement, not replace, the financial resources of your family. You can learn more about how financial need is determined here.
