Become a Sponsor
Financial and in-kind contributions make Cash for College possible. Sponsor funds directly support student scholarships. Your support helps ensure that financial aid is not a barrier to postsecondary enrollment, especially for students who are first-generation, low-income, or undocumented.
Empower Students to Succeed
Find tools, guides, and training designed to help you support students on their journey to college and beyond. From financial aid resources to college planning checklists, these materials equip you to answer questions, provide guidance, and encourage students to take confident steps toward their goals.
Spreading the Word
GIA partner National College Attainment Network (NCAN) offers ready-to-use outreach tools to help you share timely, accurate information about FAFSA deadlines and events. These resources are designed to make it easy to post on social media, update school websites, or include in newsletters.
Together, we can ensure no student misses the opportunity to access financial aid and take the next step toward college or career training.
Resources for Students and Their Families
Your involvement ensures more students and families receive timely, accurate information, and reinforces that college is not only possible, but within reach.
