SPREAD THE WORD!
To anyone you know with an interest in supporting students in the area of financial aid for post-secondary opportunities. Last year's campaign served over 1500 high school seniors, representing over forty schools. With your awareness and involvement, we hope to reach many more this year!
*Every January and February students and families attend FREE Cash For College workshops across California for help filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and Cal Grant GPA Verification Form required for cal Grants. Students attending a workshop may qualify for $1000 scholarship raffle! The Cash For College campaign is a program of the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) aimed at helping low-income first-generation college-goers complete the application process so they can access the financial aid for education and career/technical training beyond high school.
Below is a list of the upcoming Cash For College workshop opportunities for 12th grade students and their families. You may also be interested in the 2012 CSAC Webinar Schedule.
Students attending (including AB540 students) will also have the opportunity to complete a workshop survey to enter a $1000 scholarship. AB540 high school seniors are encouraged to attend and receive more information on additional scholarship opportunities.
