Aid Programs Administered by the California State University
The CSU maintains efforts to ensure educational opportunity for all students. In addition to the significant state subsidy provided to all students who enroll at the CSU, reflected by its low fee structure, the CSU also dedicates a significant amount of its revenues to need-based grants each year.
State University Grant (SUG) - provides need-based awards to cover a portion of the State University Fee for eligible undergraduate, graduate, and postbaccalaureate students who are California residents. Systemwide, the priority is to award a SUG at least equal to the amount of the State University Fee ($3,048 for undergraduates, $3,540 for teaching credential and $3,756 for graduate and postbaccalaureate students) to eligible students who apply for financial by March 2, who have an expected family contribution (EFC) of $800 or less, and who are not receiving a Cal Grant or other award designated to cover fees. Each campus has established local awarding policies and priorities for these funds.
Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) Grant - provides assistance to economically and educationally disadvantaged undergraduates. Recipients must be California residents who are admitted to a CSU campus through the Educational Opportunity Program. EOP students may receive a grant, based on need, of up to $2,000 per year.
