Greetings Class of 2024!

Over the winter break, the 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) opened and are now available to submit. The FAFSA is used to determine eligibility for a variety of aid including federal, state, and school-based, as well as
grants and scholarships. Please use THIS CHECKLIST to ensure that you are prepared to fill out FAFSA or CADAA and to verify which one of the two financial aid applications you should complete: FAFSA or CADAA.

Although the FAFSA/CADAA are due April 2nd, 2024, the sooner you complete the FAFSA or CADAA the better, as some aid is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit Studentaid.gov to begin the FAFSA application or visit Dream.csac.ca.gov to begin the CADAA application.

FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION WORKSHOPS

• The California Student Aid Commission is hosting various online Financial Aid Workshops to help with applications. Check out their free resources and sign up for a free webinar HERE.
• Da Vinci School Counselors usually host a Parent Financial Aid Workshop Night in which we cover the steps of filling out the FAFSA. Our Parent Financial Aid Workshop Night will happen this semester and we are working on finalizing a date. Expect an update soon!

If you need assistance or have questions, please reach out to Ms. Aldrete (maldrete@davincischools.org), Ms. Thomas (athomas@davincischools.org) or Mr. Jackson (cjackson@davincischools.org). We are here to support you and your child through this important process.

Thank you for your support and engagement,
