El Camino College is a public institution dedicated to providing excellent comprehensive educational programs and services that promote student learning and success in collaboration with its diverse communities.

In the year 1946, after strong recommendations by a consulting team to establish a two-year college in the Inglewood-South Bay area, the governing boards of the Centinela Valley, Redondo, Inglewood, and El Segundo districts decided to create of a junior college. Torrance soon joined the newly chartered group, and the El Camino Community College District was officially established on July 1, 1947. The college is situated on a beautiful and spacious 126-acre campus near Torrance, California.

ECC strives to make a positive difference in people’s lives. The college envisions to be a college of equity and innovation by transforming, strengthening, and inspiring our community to excel through learning.

The college has nine academic divisions - Behavioral & Social Sciences, Health Sciences & Athletics, Learning Resources, Business, Humanities, Mathematical Sciences, Fine Arts, Industry & Technology, and Natural Sciences, which comprise over 75 academic programs.

The goal of the Financial Aid Office of El Camino College is to assist students in securing a quality education without missing an opportunity because of their financial situation. It meets its goal majorly through supplementing the efforts of its students (and those supporting its students) in meeting educational cost and by providing financial aid to students who would be unable to attend this institution without such assistance.

ECC assists qualified students with grants, loans, and scholarships from Federal, State, Institutional, and other funding sources.

Students seeking financial assistance should first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and receive SAR to determine your eligibility.

ECC federal school code is 001197. A student will also need to apply for an FSA ID as part of this application process.

Almost 46% of students in the college are provided with federal grants which amounts approximately to $5,146 whereas about 63% of the students benefit from gift aid, amounting to almost $6,239.

In addition to this, only 1% of the students are entitled to institutional aids which amount to almost $747, and about 62% of the students are provided with State Aids, covering as much as $2,515.
