Important Reminder for Senior Families: Apply to FAFSA
We strongly encourage all senior families to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) before the winter break, InshaAllah. Many colleges require the FAFSA for financial aid consideration, and applying early ensures the best chance for securing aid.
To get started, visit the official FAFSA website at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa, where you’ll find helpful resources, including a guide to Filling Out the FAFSA® Form.
The site provides detailed information on:
- Required documentation, such as tax and income details, college preferences, and personal identification.
- Key definitions, including terms like "legal guardianship," "household size," and "dependent."
- Eligibility requirements for financial aid via FAFSA or the California Dream Act.
- Application timelines and deadlines to keep in mind.
We highly recommend submitting your application before the winter break to avoid delays. If you have any questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out.
