Financial Aid can help you afford college! In fact, most full-time college students receive some type of financial aid.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and California Dream Act Application (CADAA) opens October 1 and must be submitted by March 2 for Cal Grant consideration.
When completing the FAFSA or CADAA, applicants no longer need to estimate income and tax information and will be able to retrieve data using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, beginning the first day the FAFSA or CADAA is available. By submitting the FAFSA or CADAA early, students will have information about their Expected Family Contribution (EFC) earlier, helping them as they go through the college application and selection process.
Each student and parent will need to create an FSA ID number in order to access the Federal Student Aid’s online system and to electronically sign your FAFSA application. NOTE: Remember do not share your FSA ID with anyone. The security of your FSA ID is important because it can be used to electronically sign Federal Student Aid documents, access your personal records, and make binding legal obligations.
Cal Grant Awards are free money provided by the State of California to help pay for the cost of college. If you are a graduating high school senior who meets academic, financial and eligibility requirements, your child may qualify to receive a Cal Grant.
Madera Unified will electronically submit your CAL GRANT GPA verification for every senior in the district to the California Student Aid Commission so they may be considered for a Cal Grant award, but you must submit your own FAFSA to complete the application.

With 23 campuses, CSU is the largest, most diverse, and one of the most affordable university systems in the country. Many CSU campuses have higher standards for particular majors or for students who live outside the local admission area. Because of the number of students who apply, several campuses have higher standards (supplementary admission criteria) for all applicants. Make sure to learn about admission requirements early in your high school career. The application filing period is October 1st – November 30.
Admission guidelines are designed to ensure you are well-prepared to succeed at UC. If you’re interested in attending a UC campus, it is very important to exceed the minimum eligibility requirements in order to be a competitive applicant.

There are hundreds of private colleges and universities from which to choose. There are 70 independent undergraduate colleges and universities in California alone. Private colleges and universities are quite diverse in nature, including research universities, small liberal arts colleges, faith-based colleges and universities, and specialized colleges.
The cost is higher than public colleges and universities. However, these institutions have a variety of financial aid programs that often make the cost comparable to a public institution. Your ability to graduate in 4 years at a private institution may be greater than at a public institution due to more courses being available to you as a student there.
Some independent institutions, such as USC, Stanford, and California Institute of Technology, are highly selective. Other universities are less selective in nature. Visit their websites for specific admission information and application deadlines.
Madera Unified adopted an e-scripts transcript service, called Parchment, which allows us to quickly and securely send transcripts electronically to colleges and universities.
There is no cost to current students or alumni for electronic transcript copies. Copies can be printed and mailed for a small fee.
Please note that at this time only transcripts can be requested through this e-script service. If you need copies of other records, alumni should contact the district office at 559-416-5862 and current students should contact the school they are attending. For Special Education records, including IEP copies, please contact our Special Services department.
(Required for all UCs and some private or out-of-state colleges or universities.
