Workshops held to help students get cash for college
Cuesta College is hosting this month two Cash for College workshops to help high school seniors and Cuesta College students take advantage of available financial aid. Cuesta College Financial Aid staff will be on hand to answer general and specific questions about completing the 2014-15 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), Dream Act applications, Cal Grant forms, Cuesta College scholarship applications and the Cuesta Promise Scholarship application. The deadline for submission of all forms is March 2, 2014.
High school seniors who participate in at least one of the workshops will be considered for a bonus $1,000 scholarship.
