Important Resources and Deadlines for Our Seniors

The Black College Expo (California) is taking place virtually on February 19-20. Learners can sign up here. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) play an important role for learners, and they have been around since before the Civil Rights Act of 1964; learn more about these crucial institutions here.

Seniors! Please make sure to get your FAFSA and CA Dream Act applications in by the March 2 deadline.

CA.gov offers numerous Cash for College Workshops. These webinars will help parents and learners with FAFSA and California Dream Act questions.

Promises2Kids supports foster youth who wish to obtain a university, community college, or trade school education. This vital resource provides learners with the financial assistance and support to fulfill their dreams of attaining higher education.

Do you have a senior in your family who has already applied for learner aid? Because COVID has changed the financial situation for many families, learners may be able to appeal FAFSA decisions and get more financial aid for college. They can use this resource to guide them through the process.
