John Burton Advocates for Youth improves the quality of life for youth in California who have been in foster care or homeless by advocating for better laws, training communities to strengthen local practices and conducting research to inform policy solutions.
Please join John Burton Advocates for Youth (JBAY) for this “how-to” webinar to assist those working with foster youth to successfully complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The webinar will review the 2022-2023 FAFSA, including detailed instructions on how eligible foster youth can qualify as independent students for the purposes of financial aid.
Presenters will also provide information on key steps to take after the FAFSA or California Dream Act Application (CADAA) is completed, such as applying for the Chafee Grant and creating a WebGrants account, to access maximum financial aid.
