Continuing from last academic school year, all 12th grade students and their parents will need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) per the recently passed California AB 469.

- Receive priority for money for education, trade school, community college and/or college
- FAFSA/CADAA may be required for college scholarship consideration
