Submitted UC Application- How to apply for Financial Aid now?

Hi guys, so I just submitted my UC app. I looked into FA at the UC website, but I’m still confused on whether it’s gonna be automatic or will I have to do something manually.
For example, if I complete the FAFSA and just submit it, will I have to do anything to get the financial aid? Thanks for any help.

Complete the FAFSA. Follow all directions closely. After you are accepted at colleges, each college will send you a letter explaining your financial aid award, if any.

Complete the FAFSA. If you are an instate student from CA, just make sure your GPA verification IS going to be sent on time from your high school.

Every college has a financial aid section on their website. Look there to make sure you submit everything…and also look at the deadlines. DO NOT miss the deadlines…not even by a minute.

Alright. So it seems completing FAFSA is my next priority.
@thumper1 Yes I’m am in-state student.
