Joint Message from the California Department of Education and the California Student Aid Commission
Dear County and District Superintendents, Charter School Administrators, and High School Principals:
The California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) and the California Department of Education (CDE) understand that, in light of recent events, there could be some confusion regarding the California Dream Act program which allows certain undocumented and out-of-state students (“Dreamers”) to receive state financial aid while attending colleges in California.
