¡Check out our new pub on categorical funding! We analyzed budget data, regulations, and interviews across CA #communitycolleges. Key findings: while helpful, trade-offs in funding formulas and contextual factors affect equitable program resourcing. lnkd.in/gp-yJdeK

HS senior who still can’t complete the FAFSA just told me: “If a different population of students — students who don’t look like me — were having this much of a problem just trying to get to college, you can bet there would be parents protesting outside Congress.”

Public benefit programs like SNAP, TANF, and CCDF can alleviate student basic needs insecurity. Too often, states are narrowly interpreting federal law and excluding students with low incomes. In a new report with @TICAS_org, we outline how to change that: hope.temple.edu/public-benef…

Students from mixed-status families who have been unable to complete a #FAFSA can now complete the #CADAA to meet the May 2 financial aid deadline! @castudentaid will be hosting free workshops, both in-person and virtual webinars, where students and families can go to get help!

Check out our recent brief, where @EduCasey @mcanthonyjr @elliebruecker @Mayra_Nunez_M & I look at the #RacializedEconomicMobility for students enrolled at #HSIs! (Semi-spoiler: it's complicated 😅)
Our latest brief explores the pivotal role HSIs play in upward mobility & creating inclusive environments for #Latinx students. We make recommendations for policymakers to allow HSIs to reach their full potential for the students they serve.
