Apply for Financial Aid
The 2024-25 & 2025-26 FAFSA & CA Dream Act are now available!
The 2024-2025 and 2025-26 FAFSA and CA Dream Act are now open; however, schools won't begin to receive financial aid data until mid-March (at the earliest), which means the earliest Reedley College will be able to notify students will be late March or early April.
If you need assistance, please contact the RC Financial Aid Office by phone at (559)494-3012 or email at financialaid@reedleycollege.edu.
We will continue to update this page as more information becomes available.
Step 1 - Submit the FAFSA or CADAA
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Federal School Code - 001308
The FAFSA is for US/Naturalized Citizens, Permanent Residents, or eligible non-citizens.
Both the student and their parent (if applicable) are required to use an FSA ID, made up of a username and password, to electronically sign the FAFSA. The FSA ID is used to confirm your identity when accessing your financial aid information and federal student aid documents. To create an FSA ID, please visit the FSA ID Website.
Then submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)..
You will need 2022 income information to fill out the 2024-2025 FAFSA. This will be used to determine eligibility for Summer 2024, Fall 2024, Spring 2025 and Summer 2025 terms.
California Dream Act Application (CADAA)
School Code - 00013080
The CADAA is for undocumented, AB540-eligible students.
Submit the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) to be processed by the California Student Aid Commission.
