The federal and state government and most colleges require that you submit a FAFSA to determine your eligibility for financial aid. The FAFSA filing period is October 1 - March 2. You can find the FAFSA application here. You can find a helpful FAFSA worksheet here. Fund Your Future magazine, a publication that provides information about California aid such as Cal Grants, can be accessed here.
