FAFSA
The United States Department of Education provides students who are citizens of the United States with FREE federal student aid through the FAFSA.
The California DREAM Act provides funding for students who are not eligible for federal financial aid, including undocumented students, but meet in-state tuition requirements.
Our College and Career Coordinator teams up with the SRJC to provide "Cash for College" workshops on campus that help families navigate the financial aid systems. All seniors, regardless of their school, are welcome at any of the SRJC "Cash for College" workshops.
We recommend all students apply for financial aid.
Gap Year
A gap year is a period, typically taken after high school graduation, where students pause their formal education to gain life experience through travel, work, volunteering, or other personal pursuits. It can benefit high school seniors as it allows them to explore interests, develop new skills, and gain clarity on future academic or career paths, leading to more informed decisions and a greater sense of purpose.

If it doesn't, check out occupations and their requirements based on the interests CA Career Zone identified for you utilizing the O*Net Online Interests Profiler.
