What is Tassels for Teens Bike-a-thon & Fitness Walk?

Tassels for Teen Bike-a-thon & Fitness Walk is our annual charity walk in Long Beach, CA where high school students, parents, neighbors, college graduates, community leaders and volunteers show their support and share their passion for EDUCATION!

We’ve been ‘walking the walk” and “talking the talk” since 2003, and to date have raised over $20,000 in support of SCHOLARSHIP and have provided deserving high school & college students monetary awards. Your participation in this year’s Tassels for Teens Bike-a-thon & Fitness Walk will provide financial assistance to college bound teens in our community and give high school graduates who are aspiring to attend college a CHANCE.

Hello Senior Students and Families,

As you prepare for the college application process, many of you will apply for financial aid.  One of those funding options is our State Grant, called the Cal Grant.  The Cal Grant is funding for college that students do not pay back. The Cal Grant can be used at any University of California (UC), California State University (CSU) or California Community College, as well as qualifying independent (private) and career colleges or technical schools in California.

To qualify, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application (CADAA) by April 2, 2024 and meet the eligibility and financial requirements as well as any minimum GPA requirements.  Eligibility is based on your FAFSA or CADAA responses, your verified high school Cal Grant GPA, the type of California colleges you list on your FAFSA and whether you’re a recent high school graduate. To learn more about the qualifications, please visit www.calgrants.org.

Da Vinci Connect High School is required to submit student’s verified GPA to the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC). By law families can “opt out” of this process if you do not want Connect HS to submit your student’s verified GPA. If you choose to “opt out”, this means your student will not be eligible to receive a Cal Grant. In order to “opt-out”, please complete the attached form below and return to Erin Knott via email at eknott@davincischools.org no later than October 4, 2023. If you do not return the “opt-out” form, Connect HS will submit your student’s verified GPA to the CSAC to determine your student’s Cal Grant eligibility.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Erin Knott via email at eknott@davincischools.org
