Virtual Advisor

Step
1

Apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Dream Act Application by the priority deadline of May 2, 2024 for the 2024-2025 application.

Fullerton College School Code is 001201.

Select IRS Data Retrieval Tool in order to expedite the processing of your financial aid file.

Carefully review your FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS).

Your FSS will provide basic estimates about your eligibility for student aid, but it is not a financial aid offer. Students may access their FSS on their StudentAid.gov dashboard.
