2014-15 Financial Aid Status
Want to know your status? Check your insideBC account for your 2014-15 Financial Aid Status. Verify if there is any additional paperwork that you will need to submit for the coming year. If it does not give you an option to check your 2014-15 status, please verify that your 2014-15 FAFSA was processed through www.fafsa.ed.gov. Remember: It is your responsibility to be sure you have submitted all required documentation in a timely manner!
Financial Aid Checks
Spring 2015 Pell Grant payments will be issued beginning Friday, January 16th. Payments will be sent out the way that you selected through your OneCard registration. Either posted to the OneCard, electronically transferred to the bank that you selected or by paper check.
If you would like to have your financial aid check cashed, the US Bank branch at 4550 Coffee Road (Coffee at Hageman) welcomes your business. They ask you call first to ensure prompt service when you arrive. The US Bank phone number is 661-588-6403 and you can speak to anyone who answers. Make sure you tell them you wish to cash your Bakersfield College financial aid check with them.
Unsure how much you are receiving? Check our Pell Grant Calculations link for additional information.
Board of Governor's Fee Waiver
Did you update your Board of Governor's Fee Waiver (BOGFW)? Check your insideBC Student Account Summary to verify if the Board of Governor's Fee Waiver has been processed. Please allow 24 hrs from the time that classes are officially added for the fee waiver to process.
