Aid Action Plan

Answer a few questions about your situation and get a ranked, personalized aid plan — what to do today, what to do this week, which programs likely apply, and exactly who to ask.

What this tool does

  • Scores how on-track your aid is and ranks what to do first
  • Tells you whether FAFSA or CADAA is your starting point
  • Points you to food, housing, and emergency help for your needs
  • Flags which programs may not apply to you — and why

Not sure where to start?

Load a sample profile (a California student who hasn't filed the FAFSA) to see exactly what your results will look like.

About you
Your applications & aid
Have you completed the FAFSA?
Do you need the CADAA (California Dream Act) instead of the FAFSA?

Many undocumented and DACA students in California use the CADAA.

Do you have a financial aid award letter yet?
Have you contacted your financial aid office?
What do you need help with?

Check anything that applies — this tailors your plan.

Please keep in mind

AidBridge does not file applications for you and does not guarantee aid. This is a planning guide — confirm deadlines and eligibility with your financial aid office and your state's aid agency.
