FAFSA Simplication

The 2024-2025 FAFSA is Changing!

The FAFSA Simplification Act is an initiative by the United States Department of Education to make applying for federal student aid easier for students. As a result, the 2024-2025 FAFSA will open in

December 2023.

The process for the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) will include some of the changes from the new FAFSA, both of which will be implemented for the 2024–2025 award year. All students must complete either the FAFSA or CADAA to be considered for federal student aid.

The Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships at CPP is dedicated to keeping students, families, supporters, and the campus community updated with these changes. They have created a webpage to address any of your questions or concerns. The website is fully up to date and will continue to be updated as they receive more information from the Department of Education. To visit the webpage, click the button below!
