I would love to see the selection process for how families are selected.

The Office of Financial Empowerment will randomly select 150 participants from families that are already enrolled in CollegeBound St. Paul
Households that are selected to participate in the program must have one parent or guardian of a CollegeBound St. Paul beneficiary, demonstrate a coronavirus-related "adverse financial impact," and can't be a public office holder or city employee in St. Paul.
