Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) The State of California established the Student Tuition Recover 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 while enrolled, or was enrolled in a resi- dency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state -im- posed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition. You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if you are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program. It is important that you keep copies of your enrolment agreement, financial aid documents, receipts or any other informa- tion that documents the amount paid to the school. Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, 1717 N Market Street, Suite 225, Sacramento, CA 95834, (916) 574-8900. To be eligible for STRF, you must be a California resident or are enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid or deemed to have paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following: 1.

The institution has failed to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a feder al student loan program as required by law, or has failed to pay or reim burse proceeds received by the institution in excess of tuition and other costs. 6.
