The Annual Statewide Financial Aid Workshop series is a partnership effort between the California Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (CASFAA), the California Community Colleges Student Financial Aid Administrators Association (CCCSFAAA), the Educational Credit Management Corporation (ECMC) and the California Student Aid Commission.

Our free workshops offer high school counselors, student advocates and community partners the opportunity to attend a half-day training to obtain relevant financial aid information they can use to support their students. Topics include: updates to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and California Dream Act Application (CADAA), Cal Grant program updates and Middle Class Scholarship information. The workshops will also review the Chafee Grant and new programs designed to assist foster youth and former foster youth attend college.

Many 2019 workshops will be offering an optional, 2nd session for a more in depth look at WebGrants or the California Dream Act Application. Check your confirmation e-mail to see if the workshop you are attending will be offering this option.

Since last year, participants who attend a workshop and complete the subsequent survey will also receive a Certificate of Completion. In 2018, nearly 4,500 participants took advantage of the free training provided at workshops offered all over the state.
