Financial Aid

A.C.T. offers a limited number of need- and merit-based scholarships to students enrolled in San Francisco Semester. While no federal or state aid—such as a Pell Grant or a Stafford Loan—is available for the SFS, A.C.T. can work with your current college to develop a consortium agreement if you are eligible.

Students applying for an A.C.T. scholarship must:

1. complete their SFS enrollment application package and
2. submit an online Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (available at ed.gov) by no later than one (1) week after submitting their application package. Although the SFS is not eligible for federal or state aid, we use the FAFSA in order to assess student eligibility for A.C.T. scholarships.
   A.C.T.'s school code is: 014545.
3. Private educational loans are also available if you qualify.

Find Application at fafsa.ed.gov

Note that A.C.T. no longer offers academic credit for this program.
