This session will build awareness on the importance of supporting students when applying for financial aid and the significance of California’s 2021-2022 state budget, to ensure every high school senior completes a financial aid application.  

In addition, Education Trust-West (ETW) Racial Disparities will present on the Financial Aid Completion data tool. The tool is the first of its kind to share data on financial aid application completion by race and ethnicity. The data tool is intended to help LEA leaders understand and address racial disparities in financial aid completion. We hope participants and others learn how to use the tool to evaluate their practices and target specific student groups for outreach, for application completion support.

In closing, this session will provide tangible resources for local education leaders to utilize which will assist in increasing financial aid application completion. We will present the Education Trust-West’s Hidden Figures: A Framework to Increase Access to Financial Aid. This original research briefly highlights five “components of success” – insights from diverse, cutting-edge districts and schools about best practices and strategies that are helping to close equity gaps. The participants will leave the session having exchanged and learned research-driven best practices, strategies, and resources to increase access to financial aid.
