Financial Aid Office Mission:

The West Hills Community College District recognizes that many students need financial assistance. Every effort is made to help as many students as possible through the various financial aid programs administered by the college. It is our duty as Financial Aid Administrators to remove the financial barriers holding students back from pursuing a higher education.

What Is Financial Aid?

Financial aid is funding provided by federal and state governments and institutional sources to help students with their educational expenses. The funding is made up of grants, scholarships, and loans. Loans have several repayment options.

How To Apply:

Check out our online application instructions page or visit the FAFSA web page. You can also stop by any of our financial aid offices on campus for application assistance. Priority application deadlines are established each year. Students are encouraged to apply in advance to meet these deadlines.
