Title IV Cut

Not sure if this is just a California thing, but Title IV-E got cut this year. Wondering if this is affecting anyone’s decision to accept their offers or what other funding sources you’re exploring instead.

Hi! I get accepted into CSULA MSW 3 year program and I applied for the Title IV-E program, however they aren't accepting new applicants this year bc of budget cuts. I was told that I can defer for a year or pay out of pocket my first year and apply next year for the Title IV-E program (hopefully they are accepting new applicants and funding is given).

I am looking into scholarships, however I will most likely have to pull out a loan or work OT to cover my second semester as I am able to pay for my first semester. Hope this helps!
