CSU-ERFA Foundation announces grant award program

Members of the SDSU Retirement Association are probably well aware that the group works closely with CSU-ERFA and its mission to follow and influence Sacramento bills that have a bearing on CSU retirees. 

ERFA gives an annual rebate to association members who join ERFA, and the SDSU Retirement Association encourages membership because ERFA is fighting for CSU retirees' continued pension well-being, which is especially important during times of government cutbacks.

ERFA’s foundation recently announced this year’s grant award program, which makes awards to ERFA members for projects related to academic or retirement interests. More information, grant applications and guidelines can be downloaded from www.csuerfa.org or call the main office at 818-718-7996.
