Dear scholars,

We hope your winter quarter or spring semester is going well. As some of y'all venture into exam mode, remember that great focus can also be filled with engagements in culture, history, and community.

Don't forget that the new 2021-22 FAFSA form is now available. Be sure to complete your FAFSA or California Dream Act before the March 2 deadline. The earlier you submit, the better!
 
Best,
ScholarMatch
