Financial Aid Applications are now open for the Clas...
Financial Aid Applications are now open for the Class of 2025 First-time financial aid applicants should be aware that personal information provided through the FAFSA application does not have the same data privacy protections or assurances as those under California law. As a result, students and families concerned about potential federal immigration enforcement may consider completing the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) instead. The California Student Aid Commission has released a statement addressing data privacy concerns. Before making your own personal decision on what is the best path given your circumstances, we encourage you to read the Commission’s statement by clicking here: Press release/statement While opting out of the FAFSA will result in the loss of federal financial aid, we encourage applicants from mixed-status families to explore their eligibility for state and institutional aid to make an informed decision. 1902 Howard Rd.
