The deadline date to fill out the form = 06/30/10. All graduating seniors, planning to attend a post-secondary school, are encouraged to fill out a FAFSA form. Students who complete their FAFSA application, on or before the initial or first deadline date (i.e., March 2, 2010), are eligible for Cal Grant $$$. Last year the minimum Cal Grant amount awarded = $1551.00.
Seniors who don’t fill out a FAFSA application will not be eligible for federal financial aid. The option for those students will be to pay out of pocket or find another source of financial assistance (i.e., a student loan with out a deferment or forebearance option).
