Affordable Housing Grant for 1st Years
PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
The Affordable Housing Grant for first-time freshman students offers up to $1,000 in Housing credit. Awards are granted on a first‑come, first‑awarded basis to eligible first-year students with a completed Housing Contract, until all available funds have been fully allocated. To be considered, students must qualify for Pell Eligibility or a CAL Grant A or B award, have a completed Housing Contract for 2026–2027, stay enrolled full-time, and live on campus for the full license period.
All Housing credits awarded will be evenly distributed across Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 terms. Funds can only be used for Housing, and cannot be applied to tuition or other fees. Allocated funds may adjust current financial aid packages.
HOW TO APPLY
No need to complete a separate application. If you agree to be considered for the Affordable Housing Grant on your Housing contract, and meet the criteria, you will automatically be eligible for this program. Students who are awarded the Housing Grant will be notified via email before start of Fall term..
