Glendale College participates in the Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant program which provides
federal grants for students who qualify. The average grant at
GCC is $200 per semester. Applicants must meet all federal
Title IV financial aid requirements, complete the Free Applica-
tion for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and submit any other
required paperwork. All application materials are available in

portion of eligible students will receive an award.
Federal Work Study
Students who are interested in the Federal Work-study (FWS)
program are required to complete a Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and submit any other required
paperwork. If awarded FWS, the student should contact the Job
Placement Office to inquire about work opportunities.
Federal Direct Loan Program
The Federal Direct Subsidized Loan is a federally supported
loan available to needy students. Eligible Glendale College
students may borrow between $500 and $4,500 based on need
and grade level. Students must be eligible for need-based aid
to receive a Direct Subsidized Loan. There is no repayment or
interest accrual while a student is enrolled at least half-time.
Interest begins to accrue and repayment begins six months after
the student is no longer enrolled at least half-time. Combined
interest and principal payments begin at a minimum of $50
per month for a maximum of 10 years. Information on other
repayment plans is available by attending a Loan Workshop.
The Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan is available for sopho-
more level and out-of-state students who do not demonstrate
financial need or need to borrow more than the subsidized
amount. While the terms of the loan are similar to those noted
above, interest accrual begins immediately. Students may be
eligible for an additional $2,000-$6,000 through this program.
To apply for a loan under the Federal Direct Loan Program a
student must complete a Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA), submit all required paperwork, and be awarded.
“Loan Entrance Workshops” are offered by the Financial Aid
Office.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT PANTRY
The GCC Food Pantry was created to understand food insecu-
rity among GCC students, to increase awareness of hunger and
poverty issues among the GCC community, and to provide
food, hygiene supplies, and poverty alleviation-related infor-
mation to students in need. The two food pantries are located
on the main campus and the Garfield campus.
During the Covid Crisis, GCC partnered with the Los Angeles
Regional Food Bank in two Mobile Food Pantries and served
over 3000 households of students and the community.
