FAFSA & CA Dream Application: application should be available in December 2023 for School year 2024-2025
date and time tba
Government Financial Aid (Public): The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the on-line (or mobile app, search for "My Student Aid" app) form that both the Senior and parent must complete starting October 1 and no later than March 2. Parent AND student must both create a FAFSA username and password by creating an account known as your FSA ID. Eligibility for all public financial aid (ex: California Promise Grant, Cal Grants, Pell Grants, Perkins Loans, Stafford Loans, Work Study) is determined by the FAFSA. After the FAFSA application is processed (3-4 weeks), students should access their webgrants portal to select which awards they want.
Students who are undocumented will complete the California Dream Act Application (and not the FAFSA).
Do your FAFSA on the new mobile app!
