Grants
California College Promise Grant (CCPG - formerly BOGFW) are fee waiver available to students in need of enrollment fee assistance. To be eligible, a student must be a California resident or classified as an AB540. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application (CADAA) each academic year to apply for the CCPG. The Financial Aid Office determines your eligibility by subtracting your Student Aid Index (SAI) from your Cost of Attendance. If this results in an unmet need of $1104 or greater, the CCPG-C will be awarded to you. The CCPG-C is automatically awarded and posted on your offer letter, if eligible, after the Financial Aid Office receives your FAFSA from the student aid federal processor, or CADAA from the California Student Aid Commission.
The CCPG waives course enrollment fees and the $1 accident insurance fee only. All other course fees (i.e. material fees, lab fees, etc.) must be paid within 14 days of registration or students may be dropped from their class(es) with an outstanding balance for non-payment.
In some situation, students may apply for the CCPG-B by completing the California College Promise Grant Application and meeting the income criteria listed in the table below. At NVC, The California College Promise Grant Application are accepted based on limited exceptions. Most students must complete the FAFSA or CADAA to apply for the CCPG.
