We are pleased to announce that both the 2024-25 FAFSA and California Dream Act Application (CADAA) have been released. The financial aid applications are now open, and students can begin applying for financial aid for the 2024-25 academic year. The state priority deadline in California is April 2, 2024. Some colleges may have earlier deadlines for institutional aid, and we encourage students to check with their colleges to ensure they are meeting all important deadlines.
Seniors! Use your California Colleges account to launch your FAFSA/CADAA Financial Aid Application.

February Recap
February was a month filled with love and a well deserved break! Our monthly Wellness Wednesday event gave students the opportunity to express themselves through different activities. Students were able to share their ideas about what self-love is and even create their own keepsake to promote positive affirmations.
