| Do you know that your enrollment fees may be waived? Apply for the Board of Governors (BOG) Fee Waiver today. Also, if you have already paid for your enrollment fees during the 2008-2009 academic year (Summer 2008, Fall 2008, Winter 2009 and Spring 2009) you may be eligible for a refund. Remember, the BOG Fee Waiver is only a waiver, it does not provide you with additional cash for other expenses. |
| |
If you need cash to pay for additional educational expenses like books, supplies, transportation, etc, we recommend that you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Click here for the financial aid process. By applying via the FAFSA, you will be considered for all of the financial aid programs offered at LA Mission College, including the fee waiver. If you have completed the FAFSA, you do not need to complete a fee waiver application. The FAFSA also serves as the fee waiver application.
