This Week in the Counseling Office!
FAFSA/CADAA Deadline is Approaching!
Seniors! Have you completed your FAFSA or CADAA application? If you don’t submit your FAFSA or CADAA application by the deadline you might be missing out on free money to pay for college or career school! The priority deadline is March 2nd.
Class Schedule Registration
Attention Sophomores! Starting this month, the counseling team will be visiting your World History classes to provide information for the 2023-24 school year. Counselors will also be assisting students in selecting their classes for the next school year. Your World History teacher will inform you of the day the counseling team will visit your classroom. Please prepare any questions you may regarding scheduling for the next school year. Also, plan to be present during the classroom visits.
Cash For College Webinar (Multiple Dates Available)
Is the thought of how you will pay for college, university, or vocational school something that worries you? California is offering thousands of dollars in financial aid to eligible students. To learn more about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) sign up for one of the upcoming webinars. To sign up for a webinar, please visit https://www.csac.ca.gov/cash-college.
College and Financial Aid Applications
Attention Seniors! The application window for CSU, UC, and FAFSA/CA Dream Act is now open.
As a reminder, keep track of all the deadlines (UC/CSU schools, Private Colleges, scholarships, FAFSA/CA Dream Act), read the instructions, give sufficient time to recommenders to write your letter of recommendation, and provide all the requested information.
Your counselor is available by appointment to assist you with your college and/or financial aid application.
FSA ID
Seniors, if you haven’t already done so create your FSA ID.
