Find out when Federal Direct Loans are disbursed on our website under When Funds are Disbursement at the bottom of the page. Disbursement Dates are organized by quarter and school.

To prepare for disbursement you will need to accept your awards, clear document holds, clear Registration holds, and file your Study List by the Deadline to Complete Disbursement Requirements.

Once everything is completed you will receive your disbursement by the date listed in the Anticipated Receipt of Funds in Bank Account.

Depending on your household size and income, and which county you reside in, you may be eligible to receive up to $194 per month through the CalFresh Program.  This program issues monthly electronic benefits that can be used to buy most foods at many markets and food stores.  Applying for the program is easy and takes only about 10 minutes at GetCalFresh.org.

We want to extend you an invitation to a Pre-CalFresh Application Workshop, Tuesday, July 7, between 12 – 1pm. The event will be hosted on Zoom, you can register for the event here: CalFresh Workshop

Staff from both the Student Financial Services Office and Student Success Center will be available to provide information on the CalFresh program as well as on-the-spot assistance with the online application.  

If you are unable to make it to the Pre-Calfresh Workshop, Financial Aid will be having drop-in advising for CalFresh applications every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 – 11am through the Student Financial Services Virtual Front Desk.
