Financial Aid

Welcome to Pierce College Financial Aid, Scholarships and Veterans Office.  Our goal is to help students and their families seek, obtain, and make the best use of all resources available to help them finance the costs of attending Pierce College.  We aim to provide efficient and effective access to programs and service through personalized attention and the use of technology.  We are working to make sure our website offers a comprehensive resource for students and parents to find all the financial aid programs available at Pierce College.  Students can access their financial aid records online through the Student Information System (SIS). 

If you have any concerns about paying for college, please apply for financial aid on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov  Our Federal School Code is 001226.  Do not hesitate to contact us if you need any kind of assistance.  You may reach us in person during our regular office hours, by phone or by email.

Sincerely,

Anafe Robinson/Director of Financial Aid, Scholarships & Veterans

 

Announcements: Beginning in Fall 2010, Pierce College will be issuing a new way for students to receive financial aid disbursements via the myLACCDcard.  The myLACCDcard will be mailed to financial aid applicants with a matching Student ID to the mailing address on record at Pierce College.  Students should not throw away the card.  With the myLACCDcard, students will be able to make choices on how to receive their financial aid disbursements (refunds).  There are two options that students must choose: 1. Easy Refund -- electronic deposit to the myLACCDcard, a checking account linked to the myLACCDcard where you receive your funds the same day the LACCD releases the funds.  This is a debit card, not a credit card. 2. Electronic Deposit (ACH) to a third party bank -- allows you to enter your banking institution's checking or savings account information.  Receipt of funds will typically take 2 to 3 business days after LACCD releases the funds. Remember, activation of your disbursement preference will ensure the timely receipt of your financial aid funds. To learn more about this process, read the Questions and Answers or visit www.myLACCDcard.com   Also watch an orientation video at www.youtube.com/h1marketing ============================================================================= All students who have received their 2010-2011 Award Letter must download the 2010-2011 Student Award Guide.
