La Sierra University Student Financial Services

Please message us for the links you wish to attend! Lights up on Washington Heights, a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience, where the streets are made of music and little dreams become big... The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likeable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi, who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life.

A message from our student (Julia Sanchez) who represented La Sierra University in Sacramento, "This was an experience that I will truly never forget. Prior to attending the event, I didn’t realize how many people were supporting our funding and education, both within the senate and with the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU). It was a blessing to hear testimonies from the senators, those with AICCU, and my fellow peers. The amount of resilience, determination, and kindness they demonstrated was unparalleled. With immense gratitude to my administration leaders Audrey and Elina, this experience granted me with newfound friendships, networking opportunities, and appreciation for those working on behalf of all of us who depend on and value the Cal Grant." #calgrantcan change lives!
