Counseling Resources

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) should be filed between October 1st, and March 2nd of your senior year. Students that are U.S. citizens or permanent residents (with a valid California Residency Card – Green Card) should complete this application. 

​These sites and organizations can help make ​​​the process of understanding and applying for all types of financial aid easier and faster.​​

Fastweb is a popular search database filled with scholarships. If the scholarship isn’t listed on one of these resources, then be very cautious. You should not have to pay for scholarships.  

The list below was compiled by the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU).
