Financial Aid & Scholarships

California now mandates Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application completion for all seniors unless an opt-out form is submitted. The window for the FAFSA application is open October 1st - March 2nd. The California state aid (Cal Grant) cut-off is March 2, and therefore your FAFSA must be submitted by March 2 to be eligible for state aid. The FAFSA form is available online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.

If you are attending a private college, the CSS/Profile may be required in addition to the FAFSA.

For additional financial aid information, please download the LCHS FAFSA Instruction Help Page or reference the Financial Aid Night LCHS presentation.

Cal Grant GPA Verification Form
With the implementation of Assembly Bill 2160, California public high schools are required to submit a Cal Grant high school Grade Point Average (GPA) for all graduating seniors, unless the student has opted-out of the submission process.

If you do not wish to have your student’s information submitted, you must complete an opt-out form available in the registrar office. Contact Reda Hanna ([email protected]) with any additional questions. The opt-out form must be submitted by the end of September of senior year.
