Method B
For families who meet the INCOME CRITERIA. Dependent students must use the parent's income (do not include the student's income). Income includes adjusted gross income, wages not reported on a tax return, all untaxed income, and cash received or any money paid on your behalf (See chart).
Method C
COMPLETE THE FAFSA APPLICATION. The Financial Aid Office will determine unmet need after an Expected Family Contribution has been established. In many instances, students who thought they could not qualify for any assistance have their fees waived for the entire academic year. A Board of Governor's Enrollment Fee Waiver will be issued to anyone with at least $1 of unmet need (Student Budget minus the EFC equals the amount of unmet need).
Special Classification
Some dependents of Veterans or National Guard; recipient or the child of a recipient of the Congres-sional Medal of Honor or a dependent of a victim of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack; or a dependent of a deceased law enforcement/fire suppression personnel killed in the line of duty are eligible for a fee waiver.
These standards are based upon the federal poverty guidelines as published each year by the US Department of Health and Human Services. Under Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations, the income standards for the BOGFW program equal 150% of the federal poverty guidelines for the base year.
These standards are for the 2008-09 academic year and is used to determine BOGFW-B eligibility effective July 1, 2008.
