A $72,000 grant from the Education Credit Management Corporation Foundation (ECMC) aims to remove barriers in the financial aid application process for West Contra Costa families this summer. With the goal of boosting financial aid completion rates from the current 63% to 73% of 1,837 enrolled graduating seniors in the West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD), the grant will fund weekly office hours with college counselors in person and via Zoom, as well as a Financial Aid Completion event in partnership with Contra Costa College where students and families can complete their financial aid documents in a group format.
