ANNOUNCEMENT

The 2024-2025 FAFSA has been released. The new application was designed by the Department of Education to simplify the process. However, the Department of Ed is aware of many issues with the new application and created a website dedicated to addressing these issues. You can view that website here.

Encountered technical issues that caused your FAFSA or CADAA submission to miss the May 2 deadline? Do you still want to be considered for the Cal Grant? Simply access the Cal Grant Appeals Form here. If your appeal is approved, you’ll maintain eligibility for the Cal Grant. Act now to secure your chance!

Welcome to Rio Hondo College Financial Aid Office!

Paying for the cost of a college education requires a partnership among parents, students, and the college. Each partner has responsibilities to meet that cost. Financial aid helps you pay for your education (college fees, books, and supplies). Rio Hondo College (RHC) participates in most Federal and State financial aid programs.
