If you meet both requirements, and enroll in at least six units during Summer Session, you may be considered for two grants.

Students enrolled in a minimum of three units may qualify for one $550 grant, and students enrolled in 6 or more units may qualify for two $550 grants.

Graduation Initiative Grants
If you are an undergraduate Chico State student who can complete the coursework you need to graduate in summer, you may be eligible for a $550 Graduation Initiative Grant.
How to Apply:
1) Register for the Summer Session class(es) you need to graduate.
2) In order to be awarded a Graduation Initiative Grant, you must be filed for summer graduation. If you have not yet filed for summer graduation, you should make an appointment with an advisor to confirm that you will be able to fulfill graduation requirements, and re-file as soon as possible.

Reimbursement will be made later if aid is awarded.- If enough aid is awarded to cover Summer Session fees, no fee payment will be required.
- If no financial aid is awarded, or the award is an amount less than the total fees due, the fee balance must be paid immediately to avoid being dropped from class(es).
