AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Financial aid is available through the college for students who need financial support to pursue their education. The college provides assistance in the form of grants, scholarships, loans and part-time jobs, as well as the De Anza College Promise program. Except for scholarships and the De Anza College Promise, all programs require that a student show financial need in order to qualify.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Most students should use the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available at fafsa.gov. Carefully follow the directions provided. Undocumented students should use the California Dream Act application available at dream.csac.ca.gov, instead of the FAFSA. Applications for each new academic year are available on Oct. 1. Deadlines for the various programs vary considerably. Generally, financial assistance is provided as long as funds are available. Students are encouraged to call or visit the Financial Aid office for more information and to check the website frequently for updates.
ABILITY TO BENEFIT
Ability-to-benefit options for establishing general student eligibility for federal student aid have been eliminated for students who
first enroll in a program of study on or after July 1, 2012. All students seeking federal financial aid will need to have a high school diploma or GED, or have been home- schooled in order to meet the academic qualifications for general eligibility.

GUIDED PATHWAYS
The Guided Pathways initiative helps provide students with clear paths to achieve their academic goals. Students can explore areas of academic interest through meta- majors, which are clusters of related subjects. This creates opportunities for students to discover their future majors and careers while still achieving their goals in a timely manner. The initiative provides students with a suggested plan to advance through their required courses, quarter by quarter, while also directing them to support services that will assist them in maintaining progress toward their goals.
