Financial Aid
At San Jacinto College, our goal is to ensure finances never stand in the way of your success. With low tuition and abundant financial aid opportunities, we make education affordable and excellent. When you’re here, you never have to worry about how to pay for college.
Get Started With Financial Aid
Applying For Aid
No matter what kind of aid you are looking for, it all starts with the FAFSA. We're here to help you through your application, the verification process, and ensuring all your required materials are submitted.
Unable to apply for federal aid? We can help you apply for the State Grants as well.

CAN I GET federal financial AID?
For federal financial aid, you must:
-
Be enrolled in an approved degree or certificate program. Your program choice can affect the types of aid you qualify for.
-
Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen, and have a valid Social Security number on file with the admissions office.
-
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and show financial need as determined by federal guidelines.
-
Keep up good grades and make steady progress toward finishing your degree or certificate.
-
Be in good standing on any student loans and not owe money back on a federal grant.
-
Meet any other requirements set by federal, state, or college financial aid programs.
-
Have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent.
-
Not be enrolled in high school or another college at the same time during the award year.
What does not qualify for federal financial aid?
-
Classes you take as “Audit” (for no credit or grade) don’t qualify for financial aid.
-
If you’ve already passed a class with a “D” or higher and are taking it for the third time, it usually won’t count toward your financial aid eligibility.
-
Classes that aren’t part of your program of study or not required for graduation can’t be used to calculate your financial aid.
