Financial Aid Resources

FAFSA/CADAA is Open!
Filing a financial aid application is the first step toward college success and helps eligible students qualify for federal, state, and campus-based aid as well as some private scholarships. The deadline to apply for financial aid is Monday, March 3, 2025. You are required to meet this deadline to receive a Cal Grant High School Entitlement award. If your student is planning on attending Irvine Valley College, the FAFSA must be completed in order to be eligible for the IVC Promise Program.

Students and their contributors should apply on the Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) web page at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa or on the CSAC Undocumented/Dreamer Student webpage at https://www.csac.ca.gov/undocumented-dreamer-students.
