“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the
will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.”
— George Sheehan

Financial Aid

Getting an education is one of the best investments you can make in your life. While EGACE  strives to keep the cost of our classes to a minimum, we recognize that many potential students may not be ableto afford the programs we offer. Because of this, we work with various agencies to help provide financial assistance for our students in need. Financial assistance may be available to qualified individuals through the South County Career Center as funds allows. If you are a client of the Sacramento County Department of Human Assistance, the state Department of Rehabilitation or the federal Department of Veterans Affairs, you should inquire with your counselor about whether you qualify for financial assistance.
