How will I receive my financial aid?

All financial aid funds are disbursed on scheduled dates each term. Federal grant aid (Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant) disburses twice each term with 50% of the scheduled award being disbursed on or after each scheduled date based on the student's enrollment level and program eligibility. Federal Direct Loans are also disbursed in two payments based on the approved loan period. Cal Grant funds are disbursed in a single payment each term on the second scheduled disbursement date of the semester.

Learn more about options for receiving your financial aid on the Disbursement Website.

What is a Financial Aid Refund?

All disbursed financial aid (grants, federal student loans, and scholarships) will be first applied towards current institutional fees you may owe Cañada College, College of San Mateo or Skyline College such as enrollment fees, health fees and nonresident tuition. For the majority of students, your financial aid award is generally more than the amount owed, and you will be paid the remaining balance, commonly referred to as a financial aid refund.

Requirements:

  • Application is completed prior to start of term
  • Enrolled in the required number of units at least one week prior to start of term
  • Not subject to disqualification

Direct Loan

  • All first time borrowers will be subject to a 30-day delay on their first loan disbursement.
