It’s time to apply for FAFSA – Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Applications can be submitted starting January 1. High school seniors and community college transfers seeking federal aid should apply. Have your parent/guardian assist. You’ll need your 2012 tax return information and will update the application with your 2013 tax return information when you have it available.

Apply for a Cal Grant after you apply for FAFSA if you are a California student hoping to attend a California college.
