The Financial Aid Office is located on the 4th floor of the new Watson Hall building.
The mission of the Financial Aid Office is to insure that all financial aid resources are distributed in accordance to federal and state guidelines in a fair and equitable manner.
Student financial aid comes from several sources - federal and state governments, scholarships, lending institutions and college specific programs funded by the colleges’ own institutional resources. Student financial aid is money provided to college students in a variety of forms to help pay for the cost of a college education. The purpose of student financial aid is not limited to tuition and college fee costs, but can be applied to basic costs for a student who is attending college such as room, board, transportation, and miscellaneous personal necessities. Student financial aid is generally provided to assist with the costs of going to college and is not intended to relieve or replace a student’s or parent’s ability to pay a portion of or all of that cost. Provided on the following pages are the types of student financial aid programs that are available through the Orange Coast College Financial Aid Office.
