Thank you United States Senator @AlexPadilla4CA for your leadership! 🚨Students check out this important Public Service Announcement (PSA) campaign to apply for free #FinAid 💰#Allin4FinancialAid @castudentaid @EdTrustWest

Financial Aid applications have arrived! Completed FAFSA/CADA applications are *necessary* for prospective AND current Scholars to receive the Richmond Promise Scholarship. Make an appointment with our College Preparedness team (link in bio!!) and get your app in easy/breezy!

#AB469 is needed to support successful implementation of universal #FAFSA and #CADAA completion by ensuring students have assistance with completing #finaid forms and expands CBOs who can assist LEAs with implementation. We ask that Gov. @GavinNewsom sign this bill into law.

#AB1456 (@AsmJoseMedina, @AsmKevinMcCarty, @SenatorLeyva) is vital to eliminating barriers to state #finaid & ensuring the state’s economic path out of the pandemic is equitable. We respectfully request @CAGovernor's signature to enact the #CalGrant Reform Act.
