Otter Impact Fund

Why It Matters

At Cal State Monterey Bay, many students are working to overcome financial, academic and personal challenges while pursuing their degrees. More than half are the first in their families to attend college, and many rely on financial aid to stay enrolled.

Flexible support ensures students can continue their education, complete their degrees and move forward with confidence—regardless of the obstacles they face.
