When Do I Apply For The Ca Dream Act? *help*

Hi guys, I have a question. When should I apply for the CA Dream Act? I am currently a senior in high school and everyone in my class are qualified to apply for FAFSA, however I am not. When I go to the dream act application is states that it's only for the 2013-14 year. Should I fill out that one? I have no idea how I am going to get financial aid if there is no application for the 2014-15 year. I have tried calling for assistance, but they never pick up.

The CA Dream Act Application Process Dream Act Application: Deadline for priority consideration is March 2, 2014

 

The California Student Aid Commission’s Dream Act Application is used to determine the financial eligibility of students who meet the qualifications of AB 540, and who are without a valid immigration status. The application collects basic personal and income information to determine student eligibility for funding under AB 131.

Students who received a Social Security Number through the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrival (DACA) should complete the CA Dream Act Application in order to be considered for state and CSULB financial aid.

• Apply between January 1 and March 2, 2014 for priority consideration.
• Students who received a Social Security Number through the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrival (DACA) should complete the CA Dream Act Application in order to be considered for state financial aid.
• Once you have applied, the CSULB Office of Financial Aid will receive your application information and will notify you by e-mail regarding the status of your application. Your account on MyCSULB will specify what other information or documents you must submit so that we may determine your eligibility.
• The CSULB Office of Financial Aid will begin the awarding process for newly admitted students in April; awarding for continuing CSLUB students will occur in late-June.
  • NOTE: CSULB’s AB 540 Affidavit (California Non-Resident Tuition Exemption Request form) and required documentation must be received by CSULB’s Office of Admissions -- and your AB540 status confirmed -- in order for the Office of Financial Aid to be able to provide you with a financial aid award offer.

To better prepare you for completing the Dream Application, we recommend downloading the Dream Application Worksheet from CSAC's website.

Students will need to complete the Dream Application every year to determine eligibility for state and institutional aid. Students should complete and submit CSULB's AB 540 Affidavit (California Non-Resident Tuition Exemption Request form) in order to begin a review of your eligibility under AB 540.

Thanks! When do I need to send the required documentation?

Also, why does it say CSULB? That's not where I plan to apply.
