Cash for College Workshops
In January and February, students and their families have the opportunity to attend a free local Cash for College Workshop to help them fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Cal Grant GPA verification form, both of which are required for Cal Grants.
Cash for College is designed to help low-income and first-generation college bound students complete the application process so they can access financial aid for education and career/technical training beyond high school.
