The coalition of Californians for College Affordability works to strengthen California’s need-based financial aid programs so that all students can afford to attend and complete college, allowing the state’s workforce to remain competitive.
The coalition includes the statewide student associations for all public college segments, civil rights and social justice organizations, business and workforce development groups, and other advocates for higher education access, success, and affordability. The coalition is united behind two core principles for state financial aid programs: help most the students who can afford the least and encourage colleges to serve students well.
