Student Success Completion Grant

What is the Student Success Completion Grant (SSCG)

Please Note: SSCG Funds are considered a supplemental grant (not an entitlement). Funds are limited and they can run out; therefore, a disbursement is not guaranteed and limited funds will be based on File Completion priority.

How much is the award?

• A maximum of $2,596 annually at $1,298 per semester for eligible students who enroll and attend 12-14.99 units per the Fall and Spring Semesters. Units taken during Intersession will be combined with Spring.
• A maximum of $8,000 annually at $4000 per semester for eligible students who enroll and attend 15+ units per the Fall and Spring Semesters. Units taken during Intersession will be combined with Spring.
• Students identified as former Foster Youth who are enrolled in 12+ units are eligible for up to $5,250 per term

The SCC Financial Aid Office automatically awards the maximum $8000 assuming a student being offered Cal Grant B or C will attend 12 or more units. Students who are attending less than 12 units will NOT be eligible for a SSCG Disbursement. Total grant amount is up to the amount of unmet need.
If you are not planning on attending full-time in any semester and you wish to decline any of your awards please contact the Financial Aid Office. If you decline your Cal Grant, you will not be eligible for SSCG.
