California ACC Team, At Your Service
At ACC California, our goal is to equip Muslim students from California with the financial independence to pursue higher education while eliminating the hurdles of student debt and interest-based loans. We are motivated by students who have strong Muslim identities and study in all fields, and work to provide interest-free loans. We aim to diversify the pool of candidates and select students from diverse racial and economic backgrounds in various areas of study.
As a cha the lives of Muslim students, donate to help students from California today.
