Existing law, 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. The program prohibits an applicant from receiving one or a combination of program awards in excess of the amount equivalent to the award level for a total of a 4-year period of full-time attendance in an undergraduate program, except as provided, and specifies that the aggregate amount students may receive in a 4-year period may not be increased as a result of accelerating progress to a degree by attending summer terms, sessions, or quarters. The program provides that Cal Grant A awards and Cal Grant B awards may be renewed for a total of the equivalent of 4 years of full-time attendance in an undergraduate program, except as provided. This bill would make a Cal Grant A or Cal Grant B award recipient enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program who received a Cal Grant award in any term during the academic year immediately preceding a summer term eligible to receive a Cal Grant award for that summer term. The bill would limit eligibility for this award to a total of 2 summer terms. The bill would provide that a Cal Grant award for the summer term shall not count against the 4-year eligibility limitation that applies for purposes of Cal Grant A award and Cal Grant B award renewals.
