Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOGFW) Information
An Education Lasts a Lifetime...
Don’t turn away from education or job training because you think you can’t afford the enroll-
ment fee. The Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOGFW) may pay all enrollment fees for
credit courses for eligible applicants who want to attend California Community Colleges.
The BOGFW is just one of the financial aid opportunities available. You should also apply for
a Pell Grant, Federal Work Study, and other grants and/or loans to meet educational costs
such as books, transportation, and living expenses by completing a FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov.
BOGFW is Simple and Fast! Apply Today!
BOGFW applicants should complete the application on WebSMART (https://websmart.
) and submit any required documents to the Financial Aid Office.
BOGFW does not require repayment.
BOGFW is not tied to federal financial aid programs; it can be processed quickly
and you will know your eligibility for funding immediately.
BOGFW pays enrollment fees for any number of credit units in the fall, spring and
summer sessions. Only one application per academic year is required.
If Fall 2016 is your first term and you have NOT completed a FAFSA, please
complete the 2016-2017 FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov.
This application will only waive your enrollment fees. You may still owe additional fees
that you must pay to avoid being dropped from your classes.
Students eligible and accepted into the Bachelor of Science Respiratory Care program
at Skyline College will pay $130 per unit for upper division coursework and if eligible for
the BOGFW, only $46 per unit will be waived and total cost to student is $84 per unit.
