FAFSA and Dream Act Applications
FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. If you are a U.S. citizen, or eligible non-citizen, and plan to attend college or a technical, vocational, or trade school, you must submit the FAFSA to be eligible for federal student aid—grants, work-study, and loans.
The California Dream Act Application allows students interested in attending eligible California Colleges, Universities and Career Education Programs to apply for state financial aid. This application is unrelated to the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Career Exploration
The platform provides high school students the tools to match their interests and skills to postsecondary college and career opportunities. They can take career assessments and use search tools to develop college, major, and career lists, write goals and journals, track activities, and read a variety of age-appropriate content to develop and expand their knowledge on all college, career, and financial aid planning topics. Students can also launch Cal State Apply, CCCApply, and FAFSA.
