Better CADAA
The 2024-25 CA Dream Act Application
(CADAA) includes some of the changes from the new FAFSA such as
the incorporation of the Student Aid Index in lieu of the
Expected Family Contribution. Although the number of questions
were not reduced on the CADAA, the Commission made some
enhancements per the recommendations of the Renewing the Dream Report that was
released earlier this year. For example, students and parents
will provide electronic signatures. Students will also fill out
the AB540 affidavit within the application.
