Students who received a BOG for 2003-2004 must reapply for the 2004-2005 school year. Summer 2004 is the start of the new year for BOG's.

The BOG is separate from other financial aid programs and has its own application form and eligibility criteria.

There are three types of BOG's: A, B, and C. You may apply for a BOG-A or B even if you have not applied for other types of financial aid. However, you need to apply for financial aid in order to be eligible for BOG-C.

BOG-A - Recipients of public assistance (e.g., General Assistance/Relief, TANF/CalWORKs, SSI, Disability) are eligible for BOG-A. Proper documentation must be provided to the Financial Aid office to receive a BOG-A. If the parent is the recipient of public assistance benefits, the parent's signature is required.

BOG-B - Eligibility for BOG-B is based on household size and total family income for the calendar year preceding the academic year for which the student is applying.

BOG-C - In order to be eligible for a BOG-C, you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and have demonstrated financial need as determined by the Financial Aid office. Applications are available in the Financial Aid office on the Santa Maria campus, or at the Lompoc Valley and Vandenberg AFB Centers.
