STARTING THIS YEAR – FAFSA COUNTS!

FAFSA for High School SENIORS
A new state law, Assembly Bill 469, requires high schools to ensure that all seniors in California complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) who are US Citizens or a California Dream Act Application (CADAA) for students who are non US citizens beginning with the class of 2023. Completing the FAFSA or CADAA provides students with critical information on all federal grants, work-study programs, or loans they are eligible for to pursue their post-high school dreams. In an effort to help students with the FAFSA or CADAA process, we are pleased to offer the opportunities below. Families may attend the event at their school, or at any school if the date works better. If you do not wish for your child to complete a FAFSA or CADAA, you may fill out the FAFSA/CADAA Opt out form and return it to your student’s high school office.

Families will need to have the following information in order to complete the FAFSA:
– Social Security Number
– Driver’s license
– 2021 Tax Records
– Records of assets
– Records of untaxed income
– List of potential colleges the student is interested in attending
