Financial Aid Awareness Months
January and February are designated as "Financial Aid Awareness Months" to help raise awareness that new and continuing CSUB students should complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the March 2nd priority deadline for the upcoming 2013/14 academic year. Students can still file the FAFSA application after March 2nd; however, applicants who apply by the deadline will receive first priority consideration for funds with limited allocations.
We encourage you to apply now regardless of whether or not you and/or your parents have prepared your 2012 Federal Income Tax Returns! You may estimate your income information on the FAFSA in order to meet the deadline, and then edit it later with the correct information once you complete your tax returns.
