Cash for College is a regional effort that helps Inland Empire students and families complete financial aid applications like the FAFSA and California Dream Act Application (CADAA). We offer free workshops, one-on-one support, and helpful resources to guide you through the process.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Who can attend a Cash for College workshop?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Workshops are open to all, and you don\u2019t need to attend a specific school to participate. Counselors, parents, and community memberd are also welcome.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What do I need to bring to a workshop?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Bring your Social Security number (if you have one), your parent\/guardians tax information, and any income or benefits info. For a full list of what to bring, visit our workshop page.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What\u2019s the difference between FAFSA and CADAA?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

The FAFSA is for U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens. The CADAA is for undocumented students who meet AB 540 criteria. Both forms help you qualify for financial aid like grants and scholarships.<\/p>\n

Yes. Many students qualify for grants they don\u2019t have to pay back. Even if you think you won\u2019t qualify, applying can open doors to scholarships, work-study, and more.<\/p>\n
