Cal State Fullerton reaffirms our commitment to expand opportunities for students to access financial aid options and services to support their academic journeys. With these seven steps, we pledge to ensure the transformative promise of a college education is possible by making it more affordable to current and future Titans.

Maximize Financial Aid

Award to the fullest extent possible Cal Grants, State University Grants (SUG), and Middle-Class Scholarships, to eligible students, by building more awareness on how to apply for federal and state financial aid.

Create a Scholarship Hub

Create a scholarship hub to increase our scholarship funding and streamline the process to award more scholarships each year.

Increase Basic Needs Services

Amplify access to Basic Needs Services, which provides comprehensive programs and support, including the expanded Food Pantry, to students who experience hardships that result in food, housing, and financial insecurity.

Close the Digital Divide

Close the digital divide — the Center for Equitable Digital Access (CEDA) provides technological resources for all students that range from laptops to MIFIs.

Broaden Professional and Career Opportunities

Support students through our comprehensive financial literacy training, career development, on-campus jobs and resources.

Grow Philanthropy and Advocacy

Grow philanthropic support for student needs and strengthen advocacy efforts for state and federal resources.

Expand Reach Through Social Media

Leverage social media to expand our reach to inform students about on and off-campus resources to make their college education affordable and manageable.
