| Note: For community colleges, the bulk of federal funding (more than 80 percent in 2023-24) is for student financial aid. The CCC Chancellor's Office does not yet have estimates of federal funding for 2025-26 nor does it make projections for 2026-27. All data in this table is from the CCC Chancellor's Office's Financial Aid Summary Report as of January 2026. Table does not show Bureau of Indian Affairs grants, as students systemwide receive less than $1 million in total associated grant funding. | |||||
