Getting ready to apply for aid for 2025-2026?
The U.S. Department of Education has shared that the 2025-2026 FAFSA/CADAA forms will be available in December 2024. As more information becomes available, we will continue to provide updates.

Students who haven't yet submitted a FAFSA or CADAA are still encouraged to apply for aid for the 2024-2025 academic year through June 30, 2025. Keep in mind that you may not be eligible for certain types of aid (including CSULB or CA state-funded aid) since the priority deadline has passed.
