Hello Judith,
Unfortunately, the answer is no. In order for students to receive any financial aid Federal (Pell) or State (BOGFW) you must be a high school graduate or have the equivalent of a high school diploma, like a California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE) or a General Education Diploma (GED). Students can still attend college without a high school diploma or passing the CHSPE or GED, but the cost related to attending college would have to be paid out of pocket for all the expenses such as: tuition, books, student fees etc.
