Residents throughout the County of San Bernardino gathered over the weekend to honor one of the most inspiring and influential activists in United States history. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is a testament to how the strength and service of one individual can uplift a community and collectively change the world. I was honored to join friends and colleagues at the Rialto Black History Committee, Inland Empire Concern African American Churches, and Bethel AME Church in Fontana to celebrate the life of such a historically iconic individual.

 You may qualify for two state programs to help pay for college, the Cal Grant and the Middle Class Scholarship.
Cal Grant, a need-based state financial aid program, can help students receive up to $12,192 in funding to attend almost any college in California - awards vary depending on economic need, grades and the college you attend.
The Middle Class Scholarship Act offers sliding-scale discounts of up to 40 percent for families who earn $150,000 or less and don't qualify for Cal Grants.
Students apply by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 2. They must also have a C average.
