Breaking News
The California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) has developed an alternative financial aid application option for first-time freshmen California students from mixed-status households who cannot successfully complete the FAFSA. Mixed-status families include a student who is a U.S. citizen with one or more parents without a Social Security Number (SSN). Starting April 9th, first-time freshmen will be able to complete a California Dream Act Application (CADAA) as a short-term measure until they can access and complete a FAFSA to receive federal financial aid. To meet the California State Priority deadline of May 2nd, please complete the CADAA application as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 831-582-4074.
