CA supports 2.2 million students every year with the costs of #HigherEd (tuition, books, rent, and other living expenses). It all starts with a #FinancialAid application!

We are celebrating all the students who have completed a #FAFSA or a #CADAA this year. We're proud of you!

A quote graphic with a gradient blue background and text at the center of a white box. Text reads: "These trends are showing us that California’s students want to enroll in higher education, and that families need financial aid to make college affordable. We are grateful to the families and students who trust us to make college affordable. This year we also led three different financial aid cycles within 19 months. We must take a moment to reflect and celebrate this achievement for California’s future. With more high school seniors applying for financial aid, we can expect our higher education segments to serve more students.” Below the quote is the author of the quote: Dr. Daisy Gonzales, CSAC Executive Director followed by a small headshot to the right of her name and title. Below that is the CSAC logo in white. Bottom left of the graphic features the logos of social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, Youtube, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

We are saddened to hear about the passing of former Congressman and State Senator John Burton. We honor his work and remain committed to upholding his legacy. @drdaisyg.bsky.social

Over the last 2 years, FAFSA delays, system failures & privacy concerns have caused major disruptions when applying for student #FinancialAid, but CA has a solution!

#SB323 ensures that EVERY student in CA has the opportunity to apply for state and institutional financial aid through the #CADAA.
A blue flyer that reads: "CA Dream Act for all SB 323 Empowering Studnets with options is the right choice." There is a graphic of a notebook on the bottom half left-side that says financial aid and has a picture of a cap and below the words "FAFSA" and "CADAA". To the right of this is a yellow star with a thumbs up icon below it. There is a white CSAC logo at the very top of the graphic.
