Cash 4 College Workshops – December 2024 through March 2025
Beginning in December and running through March, students and families across Santa Barbara, Goleta, and Carpinteria are invited to attend our FREE Cash 4 College Workshops! These workshops provide hands-on assistance in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application (CADAA).
We encourage students to attend these events together with their parents to ensure all necessary information is available for the application process.
Workshops Schedule and Locations
Workshops will be held in person at each high school site and online. Please visit our Upcoming Events page for the full schedule, locations, and virtual options.
Prepare Ahead: Create Your FSA ID
Before starting your FAFSA application, students and one parent must create an FSA ID. The FSA ID serves as your electronic signature and is required to submit the FAFSA.
- Need help creating your FSA ID? College Success Coaches are available in the College and Career Centers at each high school to assist you. Stop by anytime between now and March for guidance.
