What is FAFSA?
What is FAFSA?
The FAFSA® form, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is a form used to apply for financial aid. Completing the FAFSA form is the only way to access the largest source of financial aid—federal student aid—to help you pay for your education.
Students who submit the FAFSA form may become eligible to receive scholarships, grants, work-study funds, and student loans. Schools use the information provided on the FAFSA form to calculate aid packages and then put together an aid offer. It’s important to submit a FAFSA form every year you plan to attend college or career/trade school to remain eligible and receive aid.

California dream act application (CADAA)
California dream act application (CADAA)
The CA Dream Act Application (CADAA) is California’s state financial aid application operated by CSAC that allows undocumented students to receive free financial aid such as: state and university grants, community college fee waivers, Cal Grants, and private scholarships. Additionally, the CADAA allows students to pay in-state tuition at any public college or university in California.
In comparison, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a federal financial aid application for U.S. citizens, permanent residents (“green card” holders), T-visa holders, and other eligible non-citizens to apply for state and federal financial aid.
So, while undocumented students are not eligible for federal financial aid or the FAFSA, they are eligible for state financial aid through the CADAA.
