institution. Over seventy course sections are offered online (via the
Internet or email) every quarter, covering subjects in all
areas required by DLIFLC: English, Natural Science, Social Science,
Technology, and Mathematics. Students must have reliable
access to the Internet and an email account to effectively complete

Tuition:
As per California AB 1346, all US
active duty DLIFLC students (and their dependents) stationed in
Monterey, California at the time they start a degree or certificate
program are entitled to pay the resident tuition ($7.00 per quarter
unit) throughout the time
they are in the program, even following transfer out of state.
Note: To pay
in-state tuition, a student cannot drop out from Foothill College
for more than two consecutive terms, excluding summer term.

Financial
Aid:
FHDA
agrees to accept DoD tuition assistance programs.
In addition, US active duty DLIFLC
students, US citizens, or eligible non-citizens registered at Foothill
College are eligible for state and federal financial aid. Qualified
individuals can apply for CalGrants, Federal Pell Grants, and various
Federal Loan programs (Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Stafford Student
Loan, and Federal Plus Loan). Applying for financial aid is a simple
process; all forms can be accessed and completed online. The Foothill
College Financial Aid Division will provide advising to students.
To qualify for financial aid,
students must meet the following criteria:
·
Develop an
educational plan. Students must consult with a FHDA and DLIFLC
counselor and develop an educational plan that is at least two quarters
in length and leads to a degree or certificate.
·
Demonstrated
financial need. To be eligible for financial aid, a student must be:
Ø
A single person making $12,000
annually or less.
Ø
A married person making less than
$32,000 annually.
Individuals who qualify for a
Federal Pell Grant can receive as much as $3,800 a year. This figure
would cover tuition and books at Foothill College. For individuals whose
income is too high, and do not qualify for financial aid, the tuition is
still only at the resident rate, which is $7.00 per unit. In addition,
tuition assistance is available for active duty personnel.
