Dear Seniors & Families,
We hope you all had a positive start to your last semester in high school! In addition to reminders about the college application process, starting next month we will highlight college scholarships. Riordan maintains a database of college scholarships here. On the second tab, there is a list of additional databases you can search.
Please read through this month's newsletter carefully, there are important reminders and events we want to highlight.
CSUs: Some CSUs are still accepting applications, click here to search for open programs/majors and deadlines.
Financial Aid Applications Update & Reminders: Yesterday the Department of Education announced that it will not release FAFSAs to colleges until early March. As a result, many colleges may postpone their commitment deadlines. Please continue to check your emails from colleges with any important updates. We understand that this is frustrating news. It is important to submit your financial aid applications by each college's priority deadline.
-
CSU/UC Priority deadline (March 2, some CSUs may have a later date)
-
Other Colleges: Check their website for their deadline
-
Important Note: If you've submitted and are receiving reminders from colleges, FAFSA will not release your applications to colleges until early March.
- Links to Financial Aid Applications (note colleges may have other required documents):
-
FAFSA Application OR CA Dream Act Application (for eligible non-citizens only)
-
CSS Profile (only for the colleges linked here)
It's important that you continue to check your application portals and let me know if anything is still marked as missing.
Please email me if you have any questions or would like to check in.
Thank you,
Mrs. Nagar and the Senior Support Team
