‘SUPER SATURDAY’ WORKSHOPS HELP HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS COMPLETE FINANCIAL AID FORMS AND FIND ‘CASH FOR COLLEGE’

Over the coming weeks, L.A. Cash for College and its partners will host more than 150 workshops throughout the region to provide families the opportunity to meet with financial aid experts who will answer questions and guide them through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and California Dream Act applications.

UNITE-LA commends the LAUSD board of education on the collaborative spirit of the Superintendent selection process and we are delighted with its result.

The board conducted a thoughtful and exhaustive nationwide search, and we are confident that the selection of Michelle King represents their best judgment. She possesses the experience, talent and dedication needed to lead this district. We look forward to collaborating with King as we strive to ensure all students graduate from high school college-and-career-ready.

A few years ago, while under the influence of drugs, Stephanie stole jewelry from a woman.  Convicted of the crime, she was sentenced by the L.A. Superior Court to time in a youth detention camp.  In the year she spent at Camp Scott, she completed high school at the Los Angeles County Office of Education's Road to Success Academy.  She has made significant, positive changes to her life and is determined to stay on a path that will lead her to become a probationary officer in the future.  In April 2015, she was released from probation, but owes restitution to the victim.  After a summer internship at the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, she is currently enrolled in classes at Mission College.  All funds will be used to contribute toward Stephanie's restitution and/or her education.

For further information, please contact 213-580-7550.
