SERVICES TO STUDENTS
STUDENT FINANCIAL AID
Federal PELL grants
Hacienda La Puente Adult education offers grants to full-time, part-time and in some cases less than part-time students. Most financial aid resources are intended to supplement, not replace, the financial resource of the family. We have financial aid available to help you with the cost of education, which includes fees, books, supplies, miscellaneous cost, housing, and transportation. Please be aware that because of the rising cost of our fees over recent years most Student Aid may need to pay for fees and leave very little to help out with other related expenses such as books or transportation, etc.
If you are interested in an eligible program please apply immediately at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Minimum requirements
Minimum requirements to receive Federal Student Aid are as follow:
• Meet U.S. Citizenship or eligible non-citizenship requirements
• Student must possess a High School Diploma or GED.
(Any Foreign High School Diploma must be officially translated and is the responsibility of the student.)
• Plan to enroll in an approved vocational program totaling 600 hours or more and be able to attend a minimum of 12 hours per week. (Note: most courses require more than 12 hours per week.)
• Demonstrate a need.
Financial Aid applications take time to process so begin early. Application must be approved and processed prior to attending class. To get started apply online by visiting the Federal Student Aid website: www.fafsa.ed.gov.
