Student Financial Assistance & Scholarship Office
Financial Aid Student Handbook
The mission of the Student Financial Assistance/Scholarship Office is to provide information and financial aid support to all eligible students attending Saddleback College. We are devoted to the educational needs of all individuals in the community and the varying specific educational needs of our students.
If you need help with the cost of attending college, the Student Financial Assistance & Scholarship Office has federal and state financial aid programs designed to assist students who need financial help.
The financial aid programs that Saddleback College has to offer students are outlined in this Student Financial Assistance/Scholarship Handbook. We hope that you will read it carefully as it is designed to help take the guesswork out of the financial aid process.
Be sure to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This application will determine your eligibility for the federal and state programs available at Saddleback College. Once you are in our financial aid system you will be able to view the status of your file on “My Financial Aid”. Visit our website at www.saddleback.edu/fao for further information.
