Financial Aid

Welcome to the Berkeley City College Financial Aid Office

Financial Aid Assistance is not impacted by the U.S. President's Executive Order issued on January 27th, 2025. YOUR 2025 FINANCIAL AID IS SECURE! Read PCCD Chancellor Tammeil Gilkerson's message here.

Berkeley City College offers financial assistance to help you meet the basic cost of your education if you qualify. Education costs include tuition and fees, books and supplies, personal expenses, transportation, and living costs (room and board, medical, child care, etc.)
