We were honored to join the @castudentaid's All-In & Ready webinar yesterday to celebrate the collective impact of our FAFSA/CADAA Statewide Implementation Workgroup! With an 8.9% year-over-year increase in submissions, it’s clear our collaboration is making a difference. PIQE was proud to share how we’re working to ensure all our families—especially undocumented and mixed-status youth—have the support they need to access financial aid. Huge thank you to the CSAC partners: Dr. Daisy Gonzales, Commissioner Araiza, Catalina Mistler, and Kristen Trimarche, and to the panelists: PIQE representative Isaac Cox, Director of Communications, Dr. Omar Orihuela, Acting Dean of Higher Education Centers at @SWC_college , and Christopher Gonzales, Chief Strategy Officer at 10,000 Degrees.
