Share your success!

Check out other success stories and consider documenting your success so others can learn from your work.

Consider a Board policy

Val Verde Unified School District's (VVUSD) policy adding FAFSA/CADAA completion as a graduate requirement. Perhaps it will inspire your district to develop a local policy to ensure all students are completing the FAFSA/CADAA. According to CSAC, 87% of all of their Seniors in the Classes of 2021 and 2022 submitted FAFSA/CADAA compared to 52% of the same years.
