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
