The California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) processes more than seven million grant applications, scholarship applications, loan payback applications, and awards up to two billion dollars in funds annually. The Commission has been working on the Modernization of its legacy systems for two years in order to more efficiently process awards and support student financial aid.

The Commission is following the State of California Department of Technology (CDT) guidelines for their Project Approval Lifecycle (PAL) process. Stakeholders have been working diligently to define and develop the critical detailed functional requirements for the new system. The objectives and goals will ensure a fully integrated, modern system that is capable of interacting real time with institutions and students in order to gain the benefits expected by our California technical constituents.
