In accordance with federal regulations set forth by The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, below is a link to consumer information that must be made available to all students at Modesto Junior College (MJC).

Most financial aid is awarded and based on students’ having financial need. This need
is used to determine eligibility. Financial Aid is predominately funded through the
federal government. In
order to qualify for financial aid a student must meet minimum requirements as referenced
at Do I Qualify, under the "How to Apply."
Limitations to financial aid eligibility apply to those who already received a bachelor’s degree. These students may only gain eligibility for the California College Promise Grant (CCPG – Fee Waiver) and are not eligible for Pell grant funding.
Students who are enrolled in more than one school or institution at the same time may only obtain Pell Grant from one college. It may be possible for a school to pay a student enrolled in one of its eligible programs for courses taken at another eligible school, if those courses apply to the degree or certificate in the first school’s program. More information on this process can be obtained by clicking on Consortium.
