Graduate Studies

The application process starts by filing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application. The priority filing date for these financial aid applications is March 2nd of each year.

Once a FAFSA or Dream Act Application is filed, the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office strongly recommends all students receiving external sources of funding report these additional resources through MyAwards as adjustments to your financial aid may be necessary.
