Better FAFSA/Better CADAA Social Media Toolkit
2024-25 FAFSA/CADAA Toolkit Dec 2023-Apr 2, 2024

Post

The California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) created this toolkit to help California community partners strengthen their student engagement efforts.  We are responsible for overseeing financial aid programs for students in California attending public and private universities and colleges, or pursuing a career certificate.

To increase awareness and application submissions to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), California Dream Act Application (CADAA), and Chafee Grant for Foster Youth, CSAC is running a marketing and outreach campaign encouraging students to apply for financial aid. In order to maximize financial aid opportunities, students should submit their financial aid application by the state priority deadline of April 2, 2024.
