As we approach the end of December, a crucial date for BC students is fast approaching: December 31st marks the opening of the 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application plays a vital role in determining a student's eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial aid.

Bakersfield College is constantly working behind the scenes to ensure our students are aware of this important deadline and have the resources they need to complete the application accurately and on time. By providing information sessions, workshops, and readily available support, BC equips students to access the financial assistance they deserve and pursue their academic goals without financial anxieties. A complete and timely FAFSA application can significantly impact a student's financial aid package, so BC is committed to making sure students are prepared for this crucial step in their educational journey.

Students can visit the FAFSA application page for more information.
