 FAFSA and Cal Grant filing period now open

 Applicants now can file the FAFSA, Dream Act Application and/or Cal Grant GPA Verification Form to be considered for financial aid such as grants, work-study jobs and student loans. Please encourage your students to fill out the FAFSA (or the Dream Act Application if applicable), even if they think they may not qualify for financial aid, as almost two-thirds of UC students qualify for some sort of financial assistance. The filing period for FAFSA, California Dream Act Application and Cal Grants ends March 2.

 Here are some helpful online resources for your students:
