Board of Governors Enrollment Fee Waiver Program
The Board of Governors Enrollment Fee Waiver (BOGW) Program waives enrollment fees for qualified students for the entire school year. Students may receive a waiver for any number of units, with no minimum. You may qualify if you have some financial need, receive Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (AFDC/TANF), Supplemental Security Income/SSP or General Assistance and those who meet certain income standards.

We will let you know if you qualify for an automatic BOGW FEE WAIVER on your Award Letter. Even if you do NOT qualify using the simple BOGW method, you should file a FAFSA. Many students do not qualify for a BOGW-A or BOGW-B, but will qualify for a BOGW-C enrollment fee waiver and additional financial aid funds by completing the FAFSA.
What do I need to Apply?
- Be a California resident, and
- Meet the annual qualifying income standards for one of the BOGW methods below.
Method "A"
