Mt. SAC offers a variety of financial aid programs funded by federal and state agencies and private sources, including grants, fee waivers, work- study opportunities, scholarships, and loans.

On average, tuition is just $1,400 per year to attend Mt. San Antonio College full time. Most students receive financial aid to bring this cost down even further and help cover other expenses.

Fill out a FAFSA

One of the most important financial aid documents to fill out is your FAFSA, a document that college students must fill out every year they are in school to help determine their financial need and aid eligibility. The FAFSA opens on January 1st of each year.You should fill out your FAFSA as soon as you can after January 1st of each school year.Learn more about FAFSA and the steps needed to complete it here.

We strongly encourage all of our students to apply for some form of financial aid. You can learn about all of the different types of financial aid and programs at ourFinancial Aid pagehere.

Calculate Your Costs for College

Mt. SAC provides a Net Price Calculator to help students estimate their college costs. The "net price" of college is the real price that a student pays -- the cost minus the financial aid awards you might qualify for. Our Net Price Calculator can help you estimate the true cost of attending college at Mt. SAC and give you an idea of the types of financial aid awards you qualify for.You can find out more about and use our Net Price Calculator here.

As a returning student, any assessment tests you have previously taken at Mt. SAC are valid for 2 years from the date you took the test. In addition, if you took an English and/or math class at Mt. SAC previously, you are eligible for the next English and/or math class in the sequence.

If you have not taken an English and/or math class and your test scores are still valid (less than 2 years), you may register for the courses you are eligible forOR you may reassess yourself with the new Assessment Questionnaire (AQ)看看你能不能放高一点。Learn how to complete the online assessmenthere.

If it has been longer than 2 years since you took the assessment tests, and you have not previously taken an English and/or math class, you must go through the assessment process again.Please click on the Assessment Questionnaire button below to complete the questionnaire. Please answer the questions on the questionnaire to determine your course placement. We encourage you to have your high school transcripts while answering the questions.

The assessment process will help you decide which classes are best to take upon your return to Mt. SAC, ensuring that your time at Mt. SAC is successful.
