LOS ANGELES — Students seeking state financial aid have just two weeks remaining to beat a California deadline.

Alliance Morgan McKinzie High School seniors, Angel Flores, Amisadai Velez and Brad Elizalde wait anxiously for a fix to an issue that has been preventing them from submitting the necessary federal application to apply for federal and state financial aid.

One state lawmaker, Assemblymember Sabrina Cervantes, of Corona, is fast-tracking a bill to give affected California students additional time to complete the federal application.
