Parent-Students at Private Colleges Should Have Equal Access to Calgrants – Opinion
Kristen Soares, president of the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities, writes:
On behalf of the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities, which represents over 80 nonprofit colleges and universities that collectively educate 190,000 undergraduates in California, I wholeheartedly agree that the state’s financial aid system should be modernized to better serve the students. It should be less complex for students and their families, it should be communicated clearly, and it should better serve today’s student population.
