FAFSA Deadline Dates

Federal Campus-based Aid
At California University, we want to have the results of your 2008-2009 FAFSA by May 1, 2008, for you to be considered first-priority for federal campus-based aid (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Perkins Loan, and Federal Work-Study). In order for California University to receive the results of your FAFSA by our first-priority deadline, we strongly recommend that you file your FAFSA as soon as possible, but no later than April 1, 2008, even if you have to use estimated financial information. This will allow the federal government enough time to process your FAFSA and send the results to California University by May 1, 2008. If you cannot or do not file your FAFSA by our first priority deadline, please file as soon as you can. You will still be considered for the Pell Grant, student loans, work-study, etc.

PHEAA State Grant
In order to receive state grant assistance from PHEAA, students must file their 2008-2009 FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA by May 1, 2008. All students are urged to apply even if the deadline has passed, since late applications are considered if funds permit.
