Financial Aid

[J23 5]

Hello everyone, so its my last year in high school, starting to apply for colleges and stuff now and im wondering if its possible to apply for financial aid/fafsa etc?

[erika020 87]

no we can't apply for FAFSA, but some states offer some kind of aid for undocumented students, you should talk to one of your school counselors and tell him/her about you're situation and they should be able to tell you if there is some kind of financial aid you might qualify for

AB 540 allows us to pay in-state tuition, while AB 131 will allow us to apply for state financial aid such as Cal grants, UC grant, CSU grant, EOP,EOPS and BOG fee waiver

Once you go to the http://forum.adreamact.com/topic/847-ca-dream-act-ab-131/ you submit your application and starting winter 2013 you can submit and application for the fee waiver. You won't be able to apply for financial aid until the summer of 2013. This was the information that was given to me on monday the 26. Hope it helps:
