Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) — California students
The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution who is or was a California resident, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. You may be eligible for STRF if you are a California resident or enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, and meet other conditions. Full STRF disclosures and eligibility details are provided on our Student Consumer Information page and at enrollment.
