Eligibility:
Students must be actively enrolled in the Fall term at Santa Ana College with a minimum of six credits (all taken at Santa Ana College) to receive $50 per credit. The more credits you take, the more cash you receive. No application required for this one-time program. To qualify in the Fall semester, the academic home location must be Santa Ana College and enrolled with 6 or more credits as of November 13, 2023.
Student must have completed a FAFSA or Dream Act for the 2023/24 year (Foreign/international students can still receive Cash for Credit without completing the FAFSA/Dream Act).
If the student is not awarded a Pell Grant or Cal Grant through the FAFSA or Dream Act, the student will be awarded a SAC Cash for Credit grant of $50 per unit up to a maximum of $600. (If a student receives a Pell or CalGrant, he/she is already receiving money for their credits from the government. The SAC Cash for Credit award is to assist those not eligible for government aid).

Important Notes
Students with a potential fraud hold will not receive funds unless the hold is cleared by presenting a photo ID in person to the Financial Aid office JSC-201.
Dual-Enrollment and Middle College High School students are not eligible for the Cash for Credit program.
In the event a student is awarded a Pell or CalGrant after Cash for Credit has been disbursed, the Cash for Credit award will be removed and the amount will be subtracted from the Pell or CalGrant award.
Student fees for the term that are still owed will be paid before disbursing to students. For example: If a student is awarded $300 but owes $38.75 in student fees, the student will receive $261.25 through BankMobile.
