Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state -imposed <br />assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, <br />who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition. <br />You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if you <br />are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition. <br />It is important that you keep copies of your enrollment agreement, financial aid documents, receipts, or any <br />other information that documents the amount paid to the school. Questions regarding the STRF may be directed <br />to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, 1747 N. Market Blvd., Suite 225, Sacramento, CA 95834, <br />(916) 574-8900 or (888) 370-7589. <br />To be eligible for STRF, you must be a California resident or enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, <br />paid or deemed to have paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the <br />following: <br />1.
