You can submit your 2018-19 FAFSA/California DREAM Application now

The 2018-19 FAFSA and California DREAM Application is now available! The application deadline for FAFSA/DREAM Application remains March 2nd, so you will be able to submit your application anytime between October 1st and March 2nd. If you are a prospective student, you can expect to receive your financial aid offer from us after you have been admitted.

The income information used to complete your 2018-19 FAFSA/DREAM Application will be based on tax year 2016, not 2017, so you should already have everything you need to complete your application. If you are a FAFSA filer, we highly recommend using the Data Retrieval Tool when completing your application because it will speed the processing of your financial aid.
