To qualify for financial aid at Woodland Community College, you’ll need to meet some basic requirements—though the exact rules can vary depending on the type of aid.

In general, you must:

• Be enrolled in a financial aid–eligible program
• Show financial need (for most programs)
• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
• Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards
• Use your aid only for educational expenses
• Not be in default on any federal student loans
• Not owe money back from a previous federal grant
• Have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent
• Not already have a bachelor’s degree

California students: If you’re undocumented but qualify for AB 540, you may be eligible for state financial aid through the California Dream Act.
