The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is an online application that can help you get the financial aid that you need in order to pursue your educational and career goals! Your FAFSA application helps your college determine if you're eligible for work-study programs, if you qualify for certain loans, and—most notably—how much grant money you need based on the information you submit. Grants, whether state or federal, do not need to be paid back; it’s free money!

Here in the East Bay, we live in an earthquake zone, so it’s important that we all know what to do to keep as safe as possible during a quake. The Great California Shakeout on October 17, 2024, at 10:17am, is an opportunity to test our emergency preparedness in case of an earthquake. On that day and time, the Peralta Community College District will test our emergency communication system, Rave, by sending you all a text and email message advising you of the Great Shakeout emergency earthquake test.
