Paying for college
ALL students complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or CADAA (California Dream Act Application) to be considered for scholarships, grants, work study or loans from the federal government, state government and each college you are applying to.
The priority FAFSA/CADAA Deadline is March 2nd, 2024.
You can apply for the FAFSA or CADAA beginning in December this year. Apply in the fall so you don’t miss out on any aid you are eligible for!
Reminders:
You only complete 1 application: FAFSA or CADAA. How do I know which one?
You must submit the FAFSA/CADAA to attend 2 years of community college for free. Learn more about the Miracosta Promise.
In addition to completing the FAFSA/CADAA, students should apply for as many scholarships as they can! Check your colleges’ scholarship sites and the lists on our Paying for College page.
