Financial Aid and Scholarships at Cal State LA is committed to helping students navigate the financial aid process through comprehensive support. We collaborate closely with students to assess their eligibility for various forms of financial assistance and clearly outline the specific requirements for each grant or loan program. Our team administers Federal and State grants, as well as additional forms of aid, to help alleviate educational expenses.

If you plan to live on campus and are unsure if your Financial Aid Award will cover your housing costs, we recommend you visit the Housing & Residence Life Website for housing and meal costs.  Once you determine the cost of housing and meals, refer to your GET Account to determine if you qualified for sufficient Financial Aid to cover your housing and meals. 

You can also estimate your costs via the Cal State LA Net Price Calculator. The Net Price Calculator is intended to estimate costs for students.  All awards produced by this calculator are estimated. If you provide inaccurate information, the result will be inaccurate.
