  • We review applications on a rolling basis, which means that early applicants get admissions feedback in time to allow them to complete any required coursework they are missing, increasing their chances of being admitted.
  • The earlier you are accepted, the more time you will have to prepare your finances and make plans to adjust your schedule to accommodate your coursework.
  • Some scholarships and other sources of financial aid require you to identify where you will be attending school in order to apply; the sooner you know you are bound for Chico State, the sooner you’ll be able to complete these applications.

To be considered for federal and state grants, complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

All grants are awarded according to financial need, as determined by the federal formula that calculates your expected family contribution (EFC) from the information you submitted on the FAFSA.

There are grant programs available for California residents only. Residency status is determined by the Office of Admissions at the time of your application.
