- The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Jose Peralta New York State DREAM Act (DREAM Act) determines a student’s eligibility for financial aid to assist with a student’s attendance at a college or career school. New York State Education Law §305(61) now requires that school districts verify that high school seniors either complete the FAFSA or, if applicable, the DREAM Act application, or sign a waiver indicating that the student understands what the FAFSA or, if applicable, the DREAM Act application are and has chosen not to file one of these financial aid applications.
