Meadow, the student financial experience platform purpose-built for higher education, today announced it has partnered with the Foundation for California Community Colleges (FoundationCCC) to make Meadow Price and Meadow Pre available to more than 200 California colleges and universities through a single, streamlined agreement.

For any eligible institution, the procurement barrier is gone. Through a pre-negotiated contract, California Community Colleges and AICCU members can implement Meadow Price, a modern GAINS Act-compliant net price calculator, and Meadow Pre, Meadow's student pre-collections solution, by signing directly with Meadow. Institutions do not need to pursue a competitive bid or undergo a lengthy procurement process.

Meadow already partners with 15 California Community Colleges across 24 campuses, as well as 17 AICCU member institutions, giving new adopters a deep bench of California peers who have already made the move.

"California's community colleges and independent institutions serve some of the most diverse and financially vulnerable student populations in the country," said Alfredo Brillembourg, CEO and Co-founder of Meadow. "This partnership means those institutions can now act on that mission without procurement standing in the way. The tools are here, the agreement is done, and students across California are the ones who benefit."

In addition to this new partnership, Meadow works with 350+ colleges and universities of all sizes across the U.S., including all California State University institutions, Penn State, University of Texas at Austin, Rutgers University, University of New Hampshire, Gonzaga University, and Tulsa Community College.

California Community Colleges are invited to learn about Meadow’s GAINS Act-compliant net price calculator and student-first pre-collections solution on July 28 at 11 AM PT. AICCU member institutions are welcome to join a session to learn more on July 29 at 10 AM PT. Learn more and register here.
