ANNOUNCEMENT
The Department of Education declared that schools cannot access your 2024-2025 FAFSA data until sometime after March. Consequently, Rio Hondo cannot assemble a financial aid package for the upcoming year until then.
The 2024-2025 FAFSA has been released. The new application was designed by the Department of Education to simplify the process. However, the Department of Ed is aware of many issues with the new application and created a website dedicated to addressing these issues. You can view that website here.
Eligible for disbursement? If you’ve chosen direct deposit via BankMobile, funds arrive the same day; other banks take 1-3 days. All disbursements must go through BankMobile. To set up a BankMobile account, click on the Finance tab in your student portal here.

Welcome to Rio Hondo College Financial Aid Office!
Paying for the cost of a college education requires a partnership among parents, students and the college. Each partner has responsibilities to fulfill in meeting that cost. Financial aid is money that helps you pay for the cost of your education (college fees, books and supplies). Rio Hondo College (RHC) participates in most Federal and State financial aid programs.
