FAFSA/CADAA Completion Workshops
We offer Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and California Dream Act Application (CADAA) workshops to support new and continuing students with completing their financial aid applications. Students and parent are invited to join us in person or via Zoom for one-on-one help from our financial aid team. No registration is required.
The priority deadline to apply for financial aid is March 2, 2026. Students are strongly encouraged to apply early and by the deadline to be considered for the maximum amount of financial aid, as some funds are limited and may run out.
Missed the March 2 deadline? You can still apply for financial aid and be eligible for all types of assistance. It's never too late
to apply! Apply now!
