<p>You will be fine doing nothing but the FAFSA.</p>
<p>You may wish to make an appointment with the transfer coordinator at your community college and ask them to walk you through the need-based financial aid, step-by-step, at UC. Then ask where you can find resources for other scholarship money, besides need-based (i.e. merit or through affiliation with a special population/group- such as returning mothers, etc.). These optional sources of money may really help reduce costs, often $500 at a time.</p>
