If you are unsure, please talk to a College Advisor BEFORE beginning an application!
The CSS Profile is used by some colleges and universities IN ADDITION to the FAFSA or California Dream Act. Always read carefully if the school(s) you are applying to, require it. Here is a list of participating institutions.
GRANTS | There are different types of grants! You will be eligible for Grants when you submit your FAFSA or California Dream Act application.
SCHOLARSHIPS | There are SO many scholarships to apply to, you just need to find them. Here are some places to find some:
WORK-STUDY | There is a question on FAFSA that will ask if you want to be considered for work-study. Put yes, to be considered.
STUDENT LOANS | Although loans seems scary, if you need to take out some money to your dream school, it's worth to consider and make an INFORMED decision. NEVER decide to take out a loan without talking to a college advisor about it.
