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 administered by the Financial Aid Office.
The majority are funded by the federal and state governments and are need-based. 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.
