Cal Grant Equity Framework

Efforts to streamline and simplify the current Cal Grant system will make California’s financial aid system more accessible to students who need support the most, including low income students, student-parents, and returning learners. Under a new legislative proposal – AB 1456 (Medina, McCarty)—Cal Grant awards would reach nearly 200,000 more students and be restructured to better meet students’ needs while maintaining existing levels of support for middle-class families.
