Financial Aid Reflection

1. What financial assistance does the FAFSA offer? Based on your application, do you
qualify for assistance through the FAFSA? If so, how much do you expect to receive and
how will you use this money?
The FAFSA or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, offers financial assistance to help
pay for college tuition and fees. I dont know if I qualify for assistance through FAFSA
because I am still waiting on a couple of documents. I am hoping to receive $500.00 each
semester when enrolled as a full-time student. I will use this money to help cover tuition
fees and books and supplies.
2. Are you eligible to receive the Cal Grant? If so, how much do you expect to receive and
how will you use this money?
I do not know if I am eligible to receive the Cal Grant, because we have not submitted it
yet. I am hoping to receive $1,000.00 each year. I will use this money cover school tuition
and fee costs.
3. Are you eligible to receive a Board of Governors Fee Waiver? If so, do you plan on
applying for the BOG Fee Waiver?
I am not eligible to receive a Board of Governors Fee Waiver.
4. Describe your findings from the private scholarship search. Do you plan on applying to
any of the scholarships available? If so, to which are you planning to apply and how much
do you expect to receive if you are accepted?
I applied to a scholarship called College Jumpstart Scholarship, if I get accepted I would
expect to receive 1,000.
