Steps to Apply

If you are a US Citizen or Permanent Resident, complete the FAFSA.

Go to the FAFSA

If you are an Undocumented, AB 540 eligible student (nonresident students exempt from paying nonresident tuition), complete the CA Dream Act. View AB 540 eligibility requirements.

Go to the CA Dream Act
Check your Student Email account, Financial Aid Self-Service, and Campus Logic portal 7-10 days after submission for any required documents that MUST be electronically uploaded to the Financial Aid Office.
Students must submit all required documentation to the SBVC Financial Aid Office as soon as possible. Most required documents can be downloaded online by clicking on the link for Online Forms. All student files are processed, in date order, based on the date the last document was received; processing may take a minimum of 4-6 weeks. Review your Financial Aid Offer Letter in Financial Aid Self-Service to see the aid you qualified for.
Students must select a refund preference with BankMobile Disbursements, a technology solution, powered by BMTX, Inc. More information can be found at BankMobile Disbursements Refund Choices.
