Financial Aid
The primary mission of the Financial Aid Office at California University of Pennsylvania is to provide financial planning and assistance to students and their families in meeting the costs of education. In fulfilling this mission, each student will be given careful consideration and the university will determine financial assistance based on federal, state, and institutional guidelines. Financial aid programs have been established to provide access to higher education with guidelines to insure fairness in disbursing available funds to qualifying students. The Financial Aid Office strives to ensure that courteous, timely, and accurate financial aid services are delivered to all students seeking assistance from our office.

Students, families, and borrowers have told us that recent media articles covering our decision to temporarily suspend our lending activities are alarming. Many feel this means PHEAA is no longer involved in providing student loans and funding through the Pennsylvania State Grant and Special Programs. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
