(1) The Cal Grant Program establishes the Cal Grant A and B Entitlement awards, the California Community College Transfer Entitlement awards, the Competitive Cal Grant A and B awards, the Cal Grant C awards, and the Cal Grant T awards under the administration of the Student Aid Commission, and establishes eligibility requirements for awards under these programs for participating students attending qualifying institutions, as defined. This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to renew California's commitment to college affordability by increasing the aid available to needy students, and, specifically, broadening access to financial aid to students enrolled in California community colleges. (2) Under existing law, no more than a total of 25,750 Competitive Cal Grant A and B awards may be granted annually. This bill, commencing with the 2016–17 academic year, would raise that limit to 34,000.
