At California Competes, we’re committed to simplifying the complex landscape of financial assistance and benefit programs for students. Our research has revealed a maze of over a hundred programs, each with its own rules and requirements, often leaving students struggling to navigate and missing out on vital support to which they’re entitled.
To help bridge this gap, we’ve identified and compiled the high-value resources on the Public Benefit Finder for California Students. This user-friendly tool helps students manage the costs of college by making resources more accessible. Whether students seek assistance with tuition, housing, or childcare, the Finder provides personalized recommendations for over 30 programs, as well as guidance on who is eligible, how to apply, and what benefits the program provides. Explore the Finder, and help California students find the resources they rightfully deserve.
