Bezos Scholars Program - Applications are due by 8 pm PST on January 25, 2024. U.S. applicants need to be current juniors, attend a public high school with an overall free and reduced lunch rate of 30% or higher and be enrolled in or have taken at least one advanced course (Honors, AP, IB, etc.). They also need to nominate a staff person from their school to serve as their educator Scholar, who participates fully in the program alongside them. For African applicants, they must attend the African Leadership Academy, which runs its own selection process in partnership with the program.
Which application should I complete?
The FAFSA or the CADAA? Students should only complete one application, either the FAFSA or CADAA. Students should complete a FAFSA if they are U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents (green card holders), or have Refugee status, have been granted Asylum, or are T-Visa holders. Students should complete CADAA if they are undocumented regardless of DACA status, if they have Temporary Protected Status (TPS), or are U-Visa holders
How does a contributor access the FAFSA?
The new FAFSA is a role-based application, with each contributor having a separate section to complete. Either a parent or a student can start the FAFSA and invite the other person to contribute to the application. The inviting contributor provides the name, date of birth, email address, and social security number of the additional contributor when requested. The email address does not need to be the same email address the additional contributor used or will use to create their StudentAid.gov account (formerly FSA ID). For parents who do not have a social security number, please select the box for “My parent does not have a social security number.”
Your contributors will each need their own StudentAid.gov account too, which should also be created before they enter the FAFSA form. “Contributor” is a new term on the 2024–25 FAFSA form—it refers to anyone (you, your spouse, your biological or adoptive parent, or your parent’s spouse) required to provide information on your FAFSA form.
As a student, you’ll be required to enter your Social Security number (SSN) to create a StudentAid.gov account unless you’re a citizen of the Freely Associated States. However, beginning with the 2024–25 FAFSA form, your contributors who don’t have an SSN can create a StudentAid.gov account to complete their section of your FAFSA form.
If a contributor has an SSN, you’re required to provide this number when inviting them to contribute to your FAFSA form. Do not indicate that a contributor doesn’t have an SSN simply because you don’t know that number. If they do in fact have an SSN, indicating that they don’t will cause delays when they try to create an account and contribute the required information on your form.
For those completing a 2024–25 FAFSA form, you need the following information:
Your Social Security Number
Your A-Number (if you're not a U.S. citizen)
Federal income tax returns, records of child support received; and your current balance of cash, savings, and checking accounts (Note: You must provide consent and approval to disclose your federal tax information to be eligible for federal student aid.)
Bank statements and records of investments (if applicable), net worth of investments, businesses, and farms
Records of untaxed income (if applicable)
An FSA ID (account username and password) to log in to StudentAid.gov and start the FAFSA form electronically
For those completing a 2023–24 FAFSA form, you need your Social Security number, your Alien Registration number (if you’re not a U.S. citizen), your federal income tax returns, W-2s, and other records of money earned (Note: You may be able to transfer your federal tax return information into your FAFSA form using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool)
If you're a dependent student, then you will also need most of the above information for your parent(s).
FAQs -
Do parents need to create an FSA ID before they complete the financial questions on the application, or can they create FSA ID at the end when they need to sign it?
a. Students and parents should create an FSA ID prior to applying for the FAFSA.
A parent created and FSA ID previously in years past. Can they still use that?
a. Yes, the parent will use the same FSA ID they previously created.
A parent I worked with had created an FAFSA ID 10 years ago but now she is neither able to retrieve the details nor create a new account. How can this issue be resolved?
a. If the parent already has an FSA ID, they should not create a new one. If the parent no longer has access to the email account or phone number that is associated with their FSA ID, they should contact the FSA Information Center (FSA IC) for assistance with unlocking their account: https://studentaid.gov/help-center/contact
Some students may be eligible to use CalKIDS funds immediately upon enrollment at an institution of higher education. They can use CalKIDS funds to pay for tuition, fees, books, supplies, and certain room and board costs.

How to write a no-experience resume objective -
1. Read the job description closely
2. Brainstorm your best qualities
3. Reflect on any achievements
4. State the position and location
"How should a teen make a resume for the first time? -A teenage resume will not typically contain much work experience, and while their first job might be in a shop, cafe, sports coaching, or dog walking, it is still important that they let their first employer know what attitude they will bring to the role. They can show their mental aptitude by including their academic achievements, share their hobbies to demonstrate an ability to hit their goals, and share their thoughts on why they want the job. Motivation is everything when you are 15-17."
How to make a resume for a first job or with little experience?
"To write a resume with no work experience, you need to tell the story of your potential. This doesn't mean making up some fairy tale future - you can still be perfectly logical and credible when you outline the next steps in your career.
Your education, internships, volunteering and various projects and hobbies will likely contain the most fascinating insights into who you are as a person. You might be surprised at just how many transferable skills you actually possess when you sit down to make your resume for a first job."
Postings will change as positions are filled. You must do your own job search, this is for reference only. Always review the company's requirements and job description directly. Best of luck in the job hunt!
Make sure that you meet the minimum 2.0 GPA and less than 15 hours Saturday School requirements. Work Permits are an application process, not automatic.
