California College Promise Grant (BOG Fee Waiver)

Part-time or full-time students may qualify for the California College Promise Grant, formally known as the Board of Governors Fee Waiver. The BOG/CCPG fee waiver allows you to waive (not pay) your enrollment fee for the academic year. Other costs, such as for textbooks, student body and student representation fees must be paid by you. California residents may qualify for a fee waiver to have their enrollment fees waived. Arrangements for assistance in applying should be made prior to registration.

If a student is awarded a fee waiver and is determined at a later date to have been ineligible or fail to turn in required documents, the fee waiver will be automatically canceled and the fees reassessed to the student's account.

If you have already earned a bachelor's degree or higher, your Federal Financial Aid may be limited but you may qualify for this California College Promise Grant.

FAQs

How do I obtain a California College Promise Grant?

1. U.S Citizens and Permanent Legal Residents: Submit the FAFSA application to see if you are eligible for the fee waiver.

3. If you have already submitted a FAFSA or CADAA, review your award letter via LTCC's Passport portal site and look for an email from financialaid@ltcc.edu in your LTCC email.

4. Please Note: Submitting a FAFSA application may supersede/override the CCPG (aka BOG fee) waiver application from Passport.

4. If you already filled out the CCPG Application online and cannot do it again, you may want to consider completing a FAFSA or CADAA and sending to LTCC to see if you qualify by an alternate method. We also have paper CCPG applications in both English and Spanish available on campus upon request.
