    The California College Promise Grant (formerly known as the Board of Governors Fee Waiver) program is a state financial aid program administered by the Chancellor's Office of the community college system. For eligible California residents, the grant permits enrollment fees to be waived. (Assistance for the purchase of books and supplies must be applied for separately.) Many California Community Colleges offer online application through CCCApply. When you use these online applications, the data you've entered in CCCApply will be transferred automatically, making your application much easier and faster. Click here to apply for your California College Promise Grant. If your selected college has not implemented an online grant form, PDF versions are available here. (Summer term may be at the beginning or the end of the year, depending on the selected college)

    Lloyd: Provided below is the contact information for technical support for the BOG Fee waiver. If you continue to have issues with your BOG Fee waiver I would also reccommend, you get into contact with staff at the finacial aid office at the college you are attending. Some colleges due offer the BOG application in paper format. Phone: 1-800-468-6927 Email: Email Support
