Financial Aid Workshop

Seniors, this is a must! Please come with your parents to the Financial Aid Workshop to review the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application. CSUN representative Darnell Edwards is conducting our workshop.

FAFSA
To apply for federal student aid, you will need to complete the Student Aid FAFSA.  It will be available in early January. For tips and information on how to fill out the FAFSA, click here

CSS PROFILE
Many private colleges use the CSS Profile or their own institutional financial aid form along with the FAFSA. Check with the institution's admissions/financial aid page to understand what financial aid forms are required and the due dates .
