Scholarship Program Office

The Mt. SAC Scholarship Program Office is responsible for managing a range of scholarship funds for students, including those for re-entry, international, and transfer students. The scholarships are funded by various sources such as faculty, staff, departments, campus organizations, private citizens, civic groups, and state and national organizations. 

 All currently enrolled students are eligible to apply for scholarships based on financial need, academic merit, major, or educational goals.  

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• • I won a scholarship in the spring from the Mt. SAC Scholarship Program – how do I get my funds?

    All Mt. SAC Scholarship awards [with the exception of Oshers which are released during week 4 of the fall/spring], will be credited to your student account after the last day to drop/add classes for 16 week courses – usually 2 weeks into the fall or spring semester.

    Your scholarship will first pay off anything owed to the school. The remaining balance will be released to your selected “Refund Preference” after the Cashier’s Office releases refunds. Note that a negative amount marks the amount owed to you. Once the negative turns to “zero”, refunds are delivered via the refund option selected after five business days (exceptions may apply). Activate your refund preference and make your refund selection online by visiting https://www.mtsac.edu/cashier/refunds.html.
