All seniors should complete a financial aid application to access free money for college, trade school, or career training. The FAFSA is for U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens, while the CADAA (California Dream Act Application) is for eligible undocumented students. Both open on October 1, 2025 for the 2026–2027 school year.
