Financial Aid and Fees

Home Admissions Financial Aid and Fees

Money shouldn't get in the way of getting a college education. Our financial aid offices are here to help you get the financial support you need to pay your tuition and fees and afford college.

Apply for Financial Aid

Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application (CADAA), and we will help you identify the aid for which you are eligible. The FAFSA is for US citizens and permanent residents, while the CADAA is for students who are not US citizens, permanent residents, or eligible non-citizens.

Make sure you are aware of the financial aid deadlines for each semester.

Sacramento City College's federal school code is 001233.

New Financial Aid Portal

The Los Rios Financial Aid team is pleased to announce that a new financial aid portal for students is being launched for the 2025-2026 aid year! This is the first phase of a comprehensive rollout for an improved financial aid experience.

The new financial aid portal will be accessed through eServices, just as it is today with the current portal. If you are a returning student, past financial aid year information will remain available on eServices.

A short video is available to learn more about how to access the new Financial Aid Portal.

Please reach out to your Financial Aid department with any questions!
