Grants & Fellowships

• Diversity in Leadership
  For leaders of color, by leaders of color. Borne out of work that began in 2017 to address issues of representation, equity and inclusion, the Diversity in Leadership Institute recognizes these results do not speak to the ability of Black and Latinx students. Instead, they highlight the collective failure of the system to meet the needs of our students.
  With this in mind, the DLI is dedicated to increasing racial diversity, equity, inclusion and cultural competence among charter school and district administrators as a means to increase academic and social outcomes for Black and Latinx students in California.

• Loan Forgiveness
  Federal student loan interest will resume starting on September 1, 2023, and payments will be due starting in October 2023.  Borrowers will have different dates in October in which their payments will be due.  All borrowers will be notified well before payments restart.
  “We recognize that the return to repayment will result in significant financial hardship for many borrowers.  That is why this Administration also put forward a plan to provide up to $20,000 in debt relief for hard-working Americans recovering from the economic harms of the pandemic, most of whom make less than $75,000 a year, and why we continue to fight for that relief on behalf of the millions of borrowers who need it,” noted a Department spokesperson.  “We will also be in direct touch with borrowers and ramping up our communications with services well before repayment resumes to ensure borrowers and their families are receiving accurate and timely information about the return to repayment.”
  The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to deliver a decision on the Administration’s one-time student loan debt relief plan in the coming days.
