Welcome to Financial Aid

The purpose of the Financial Aid Office at Cuesta College is to provide financial aid assistance and eligibility awareness to all current and prospective students as they pursue their educational goals.

Paying for the cost of a college education requires a partnership among parents, students, and the college. As the cost of higher education continues to rise, we want you to know that Cuesta College offers a full array of financial aid programs including:

• grants
• work-study
• scholarships
• federal direct loan programs
• fee waivers

These programs are available to both full and part-time students who are seeking a degree or certificate. For those who qualify, financial aid is available to help with tuition, fees, books and supplies.
