COLLEGE ACCESS
PLAN (CAP) RECEIVES
AWARD
TO ASSIST AREA
STUDENTS WITH
FINANCIAL AID
College Access Plan (CAP), a local
organization providing no-cost college
readiness services to students and
graduates of Pasadena Unified School
District (PUSD) and their families, has
received funding from Educational Credit
Management Corporation through the
U.S. Department of Education’s Free
Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) Student Support Strategy project to ensure all students in our community complete
the 2024-2025 FAFSA before September 1.
Serious snags in the 2024 roll-out of the new FAFSA caused the state of California to
postpone its deadline for four-year college students to receive state grants to May 2. The
extended deadline for community college-going students is September 2. Unfortunately,
many students still have not submitted their forms or systems glitches have kept applications
from registering as complete.
With this award, CAP will mitigate the negative impacts of financial aid form non-completion
in the greater Pasadena community by training 10 Financial Aid Advocates to spread the word
via community events, social media, targeted email communication, and texting in support
of successful FAFSA submission. Leading up to the extended deadline, CAP staff members
will provide no-cost group and individualized expert support in completing financial aid
applications. In August, CAP and PUSD will partner to offer two FAFSA completion events,
one in English and one in Spanish.
CAP encourages community members, partners, and interested parties to contact them
using https://tinyurl.com/DoTheFAFSA
to receive FAFSA support. The focus
of these efforts is geared toward recent
graduates of PUSD.
“We are well aware that the botched roll
out of the new FAFSA has left students
and families confused and frustrated,
and the effects are most pronounced
for first generation college goers. CAP
is eager to help spread the message that
college is an accessible and affordable
option for anyone who wishes to pursue a
postsecondary degree or certificate,” says
Mo Hyman, CAP Executive Director.
“With 18 years of experience partnering
with PUSD to remove barriers to college
affordability for students, we are eager
to use our knowledge and expertise to
support successful financial aid access
for students in our community.”
