In addition, students must complete the College of the Redwoods Financial Aid Data Sheet annually. After transmitting an application over the Internet, students can mail their signed signature page to the Department. The CPS will determine their eligibility for financial aid within 72 hours after receiving the completed application. The deadline to apply for a Cal Grant is March 2 of each year. Application Deadlines Students may apply for financial aid at any time during the school year, but it is recommended that students complete the application process prior to March 2 each year to assure full consideration for all programs.
Some funds are very limited and run out well before the school year begins.
See chart on opposite page and the following paragraph for information on deadlines for specific programs. To quickly access financial aid information students may use the financial aid telephone inquiry system by calling 476-4182. By selecting one of several options, students may obtain information on office hours, how to apply for financial aid, loan counseling session dates and the status of their financial aid file. If students do not complete all the classes for which they receive financial aid, or if they have a cumulative grade point average below 2.0, financial aid may be terminated. Copies of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements are available from the Financial Aid Office.
