Hosting a Cash for College workshop is a powerful way to help students and families access financial aid. GIA provides planning guides, outreach materials, and training to make the process simple.<\/p>\n

Organizers select a date and location, promote the event through schools and community networks, and use provided toolkits to walk participants through the FAFSA or California Dream Act Application (CADAA). With these resources, educators, counselors, and community partners can confidently lead workshops that connect students to the support they need for college success.<\/p>\n
