Seniors: One More Week to Submit First Step Award Application - Due 5/7/18

The Berkeley High School Development Group (BHSDG) raises funds to enhance academic projects for all high school students to strengthen their educational experience. One initiative includes bridge funding to college bound students whose FAFSA/ Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) for college is determined to be $2,000 or less. The donors of BHSDG want to support students in a successful transition to higher education. Thank you to the BHSDG and its donors!

The First Step Award is available to any qualifying student who has enrolled at an accredited four year college (or community college for eligible Dream Act students) and shows EFC less than $2,000.

Complete the attached document with supporting documents of college acceptance letter and FAFSA/EFC by May 7, 2018. The application must be approved and signed by a counselor or advisor. Please submit application to the CCC.

Checks will be written by BHSDG to eligible students and mailed to homes by the end of May/early June.

In summary, here is what you need for First Step Award by 5/7/18:
1. Application (in attachment or in CCC and Counseling Offices)
2. Counselor checks off EFC in FAFSA summary of $0-$2,000
3. Proof of college enrollment at 4 year or community college for Dream Act students.
