#2 Making College Possible: FAFSA, the California Dream Act & Financial Aid with Israel Flores Beltran (CSAC)

In this episode, we’re joined by Israel Flores Beltran, Strategic Outreach Coordinator at the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC). A proud CSU Sacramento graduate and former undocumented student, Israel brings a powerful personal perspective to his work helping students and families navigate the path to higher education. We talk about the FAFSA, the California Dream Act, and other key forms of financial aid that can open doors for students across the state. This conversation is packed with practical insights to help make college more affordable and accessible for every family.   Every parent wants the best for their student, but financial aid can feel confusing. That’s why PIQE and California Student Aid Commission are hosting free webinars to help you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the California Dream Act Application (CADAA).
