Most students don’t skip the FAFSA because they don’t want financial aid. They skip it because it feels overwhelming or they aren’t sure it’s worth filling out. Level All’s step-by-step video tutorial changes that, walking students and families through the entire form in 30 minutes or less.

‍

Why This Matters

$3 billion in available FAFSA funding went unused last year. Every skipped FAFSA is money left on the table. When the form feels simple, students can actually finish it and unlock the aid they need for college and trade school.

Coach Tip:

California’s Cal Grant priority deadline is March 2. Families who are not eligible to file a FAFSA may be eligible to use the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) instead; it opens on the same timeline and is used the same way to determine Cal Grant eligibility. Push both options in the fall, well ahead of the March deadline.
