Financial aid is any resource available to
students to offset the costs associated with
attending California State University, Fresno.
Aside from student and family resources,
there are four basic programs of financial aid:
grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships.
About 95 percent of these programs are ad-ministered
by the Financial Aid Office.
The majority are funded by the federal

Eligibility for financial aid from need-based
programs is determined through a formula
mandated by Congress. Several programs
administered by the Financial Aid Office
are not need-based.
