This bill will reform the Cal Grant program through four major initiatives: (1) Consolidate all three Cal Grant Awards and the existing Middle Class Scholarship into one Cal Grant Award; (2) Remove age limits, out of high school time, GPA, and AB 540 status as a barrier to accessing a Cal Grant Award; (3) Include Summer Cal Grant Plus.

The bill would create a path to allow undocumented students to participate in apprenticeship and internship training programs with ITIN in lieu of a social security number, so that students do not have to enroll in DACA.

This bill would increase access to higher education for undocumented students by modernizing AB 540 eligibility through the following items: (1) Reducing the total attendance requirement from three years to two years; (2) Adding attendance at all California schools toward establishing total attendance; (3) Removing the two-year limit on counting community college attendance for establishing attendance eligibility.

AB 2 extends the California College Promise to provide a second year of free tuition for students attending a California Community College (CCC).

This bill would repeal the limitation on those students’ eligibility for Competitive Cal Grant A and B Awards. The bill would also express the intent of the Legislature that all forms of state-based aid in California be made equally available to these students who are exempt from paying nonresident tuition and to all other students who qualify for state-based aid in this state.
