Complete the FAFSA
The FAFSA is the first step in the financial aid process. Use it to apply for federal student financial aid, such as grants, loans, and work-study. Students must file a new FAFSA each academic year.
Apply between January 1 and March 2 for priority status. After March 2, awards will consist of the remaining available funds. New applicants for Cal Grants (including entering freshmen) must submit a GPA Verification Form as well as the FAFSA by the March 2 deadline.
No separate application needed for Cal Poly Scholarships. Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) by March 2 for full scholarship and financial aid consideration.
