”As a low-income, first-generation college student who
received a Cal Grant to pay for college, I consider it a true
honor to lead the CA Student Aid Commission in serving the many
students like me who would not succeed in college with out
financial aid.”
Marlene Garcia is the Executive Director of the California
Student Aid Commission where she oversees a budget of
$3.2 billion and a team of 125. She is passionate about
expanding educational opportunity by removing financial barriers
to college success.
