Prior to serving in her current role, Cruz Grimaldo was the associate director of financial aid and scholarships, where she helped create the first student advisory council in this important area. She also supported the creation of the Fiat Lux scholarship program, uniting two needs-based programs to better serve students. As a former first generation college student at Berkeley who relied on financial aid, Grimaldo’s commitment to making our university affordable is driven by personal experience.
