Free City
Free Tuition to ÃÈ·µ¼º½ for San Francisco Residents
Free City is a partnership between City College and the City & County of San Francisco to provide its residents free tuition or grants for financial aid recipients to City College.
Free City is just the beginning
City College is ideal if you’re looking to earn a two-year associate degree or to transfer to a 4-year college or university. Our Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program allows successful students to transfer to one of six University of California campuses or to several participating California State Universities.
We offer hundreds of classes taught by faculty dedicated to the art of teaching (not teaching assistants). City College also offers one of the largest certificate programs in the country.
Applying for Financial Aid at ÃÈ·µ¼º½
For most types of Financial Aid, the first step is to submit the FAFSA — the Free Application for Federal Student Aid — or the California Dream Act (for undocumented and nonresident students). Doing so connects you to all types of aid options — grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships — from federal, state and City College sources. Even if you think you may not qualify, the FAFSA is completely free and can make a huge difference in college affordability.
The FAFSA ÃÈ·µ¼º½ School code is: 012874
The Dream Act ÃÈ·µ¼º½ School code is: 00450200
