Board of Governor's Fee Waiver (BOGW) http://www.cccapply.org/bog_waiver
If you apply to a community college be sure to fill out the application for the Board of Governor's Fee Waiver (BOGW). This is additional aid you may potentially receive to help pay your tuition.
Occasionally, the Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) offers assistance for purchasing textbooks. Many times this offer is contingent upon available funding. However, even if your community college of choice does not offer textbook assistance it is still a good idea to be a part of EOPS. This program will give you priority registration, individual tutoring, university application waivers and more. Each community college's website has a link to apply for EOPS.
