High School Seniors Eligible for Scholarships at Cash for College Workshops
Cash for College workshops provide free hands-on assistance for students and their families filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which is required to receive a Cal Grant.
More than 500
Cash for College
workshops are being offered in 47 of 58 counties across California until the March 2 Cal Grant application deadline. Students can visit
www.calgrants.org/workshops
to find remaining Cash for College workshops in their area.
High school seniors who attend a Cash for College workshop, complete an exit survey, and successfully fill out the FAFSA and Cal Grant GPA Verification form qualify for their chance to receive scholarships from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the workshop location. California Cash for College is participating in a national scholarship study which provides additional scholarship resources in four regions of the state. To learn more about Performance Based Scholarships (PBS), of up to $4,000, visit the
PBS page
at the calgrants.org website. The $1,000 Cash for College incentive scholarship is not available in Performance Based Scholarship Study Regions, but continues to be offered at workshops in non-study regions where Cash for College workshops are held.
