Financial Aid
A college education is one of the best investments you make in yourself—and one that will last a lifetime. The majority of our students take advantage of state and federal resources, such as California grants, Federal Pell grants and Federal Stafford loans.

Employer Tuition Assistance Programs
Many companies offer full or partial tuition assistance to employees who participate in work-related or degree-oriented college programs. California Lutheran University provides a deferred payment option for students who take advantage of their companies' tuition reimbursement opportunities. Click here for more information.
ADEP Assistantships
ADEP assistantships provide free tuition in exchange for work in the ADEP department. Every 40 hours of work completed in a term, counts toward one unit of tuition. Normally, no more than five free tuition credits will be granted during any one term. A minimum cumulative 2.50 GPA is required for eligibility. Typically, you would need to be available during daytime hours to be eligible for an assistantship. Click here to apply.
