The Student Success Completion Grant (SSCG) is a California state financial aid program for full-time California Community College students who already receive Cal Grant B or C, offering extra money (up to $4,000/semester, or more for foster youth) to help cover college costs, encouraging them to stay enrolled full-time (12+ units) and finish their degrees faster by meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Eligibility is determined automatically after applying for financial aid (FAFSA/Dream Act), but funding is limited and awarded first-come, first-served, so applying early is key.
