Financial Aid (FAFSA)
Paying for college can feel overwhelming, but financial aid can help make your education more affordable. Financial aid includes grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities, and loans that help cover the cost of tuition, fees, and other college expenses.
The CCMR Center is here to support San Benito High School students and families every step of the way from completing FAFSA, understanding financial aid options, meeting deadlines, and accessing helpful resources.
