Financial Aid

The mission of the Financial Aid Office at Saddleback College is to provide services to students in their search for funds to help offset the cost of their education and thereby help students pursue their personal and educational goals.

The Financial Aid Office is open for in-person assistance, during our normal business hours in Gateway (GW) 111. You can also reach us via phone, email, and virtual counter. Don’t forget your current Saddleback College ID Card or your valid (non-expired) government-issued photo ID when visiting the Financial Aid Office in person.

Summer office hours are in effect from May 20th to August 11th. Regular office hours will return August 12th.

Join the Financial Aid Line Virtually

Saddleback College is using the QLess system to eliminate the need for students to wait in long lines to receive service. QLess allows students to virtually join a line without having to physically wait in line. When a student is next to receive service, the student will be notified to return to the service area.
