Why Apply?

A common myth is that many students think they won't qualify for financial aid, but in reality, about
70% who apply do receive some assistance.

To seek aid for the 2024-2025 or 2025-2026 academic year:

  • students with a valid Social Security Number (SSN) should complete the FAFSA.
  • undocumented AB540 eligible students should complete the CADAA.

Pre-Workshop Application Guides


Create an FSA ID

An FSA ID is needed to access the FAFSA and electronically sign it. CLICK HERE to visit the FSA ID account creation page, then simply follow the directions. Make sure you verify your Mobile number and Email address in order to have multiple account recovery options should you lose your password.

If you are a dependent student, your parent(s) will need to create a separate FSA ID for themselves. For the FAFSA, parents who do not have a social security number can NOW apply for an FSA ID by entering 000-00-0000 in the social security number field when prompted.
