The Application Process is Free
FAFSA
The first step in applying for financial aid is to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can complete a FAFSA online at studentaid.gov using SSU’s federal school code of 001156.
California Dream Act
The California Dream Act authorized state-funded financial aid for students who may not have legal immigration status at the time they apply for financial aid. The California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) has developed the California Dream Application for eligible students to use to apply for state-funded financial aid.
