Seniors, it's still not too late to apply for
FAFSA or CADAA today!
The state priority deadline for Cal Grant and Middle Class Scholarship has been extended from April 2, 2024, to May 2, 2024. As a result, students who submit a 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or a 2024-25 California Dream Act Application (CADAA) by May 2, 2024, will be considered on time for Cal Grant and Middle Class Scholarship consideration. CSAC is providing an updated Social Media Toolkit with graphics, captions, and a flier announcing new webinars through the extended May 2 deadline. CSAC is also offering additional Cash for College webinars to support the extension of the deadline.
Financial aid helps students and their families with college expenses like tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and transportation.
